U.Va. board weighs Sullivan's return to top job

The University of Virginia’s governing board will decide Tuesday whether to reinstate ousted President Teresa Sullivan and end more than two weeks of uncertainty and conflict on the state’s flagship campus.

The Board of Visitors’ afternoon emergency meeting will be a showdown between Rector Helen Dragas, who orchestrated Sullivan’s departure behind the scenes, and those on the board uncomfortable with how the popular school administrator was forced to resign after two years at the helm.
