Spring UVA Board of Visitors Video Archive

TJC Article
Written By James Bacon

The University of Virginia is mandated by state law to livestream its Board of Visitors meetings, which it does. But the University is not required to maintain video archives, so, despite the minimal cost and effort, it doesn't.

For anyone interested in UVA governance, it can be immensely helpful to consult Board of Visitors proceedings rather than refer to the minutes, the publication of which can be delayed for days or weeks. Archiving the video is essential to maintaining transparency and accountability. Therefore, if UVA won't do it, The Jefferson Council will.

We have captured the video of February-March board meeting sessions pertaining to the academic division. For reasons of economy, we are not archiving video relating to the Wise campus. Time notations are scheduled times, not actual times. Note that YouTube provides a transcript of the proceedings as well.

James Bacon

After a 25-year career in Virginia journalism, James A. Bacon founded Bacon’s Rebellion in 2002 a blog with the goal of “Reinventing Virginia for the 21st Century.” Its focus is on building more prosperous, livable and sustainable communities. In recent years he has concentrated more on the spread of “woke” ideology in K-12 schools, the criminal justice system, higher education, and medicine.

In 2021, he co-founded The Jefferson Council to preserve free speech, intellectual diversity, and the Jeffersonian legacy at his alma mater the University of Virginia. He previously served as the organization’s executive director, now serving as congributing editor.

Aside from blogging, Bacon writes books. His first was Boomergeddon: How Runaway Deficits Will Bankrupt the Country and Ruin Retirement for Aging Baby Boomers — And What You Can Do About It, followed by Maverick Miner: How E. Morgan Massey Became a Coal Industry Legend and a work of science fiction, Dust Mites: the Siege of Airlock Three.

A Virginian through-and-through, Bacon lives in Richmond with his wife Laura.
