Welcome Madame President: UVA's wish list for Teresa Sullivan

The Morgan Harrington and Yeardley Love tragedies. Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli's Climategate attack on a former UVA researcher. And now the crisis facing the Virginia Quarterly Review after the suicide of its managing editor. All that's on top of more fundamental challenges–- a billion dollars lost from UVA's long term investment pool in 2008. Statewide cuts to higher education, and professors and staff who haven't seen a raise in years. 

As new UVA president Teresa Sullivan takes the reins after the two-decade tenure of her predecessor John Casteen, there's no shortage of pressing matters for her to tackle–- many of them attracting national news coverage– and in her first weeks on the job, she's hit the ground running, first with a wide-ranging press conference addressing issues from how students are asked about their criminal histories to the University's finances.
