University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan addresses a crowd of supporters on the steps of the Rotunda after being reinstated by the board. The 15-member Board of Visitors voted unanimously to reinstate Sullivan less than three weeks after ousting her — a move that infuriated students and faculty, had the governor threatening to fire the entire governing board and sparked a debate about the most effective way to operate public universities in an era of tight finances. Shortly after the vote, Sullivan thanked the board members for their renewed confidence in her.
