Transparency in Governance: UVA Board of Visitors Text Messages

The following pages contain text message communications provided by the University of Virginia in response to a request submitted under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act by The Washington Post and were previously reported on by the newspaper. These records involve members of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors and related parties and are reproduced here as received.

These materials are being published to promote transparency in matters of public governance at a taxpayer-supported institution. Rather than excerpt or selectively quote from the record, the complete set of responsive documents is presented so readers may evaluate the context, tone, and substance of the communications for themselves. A thorough analysis of these materials will be forthcoming

The messages appear largely in raw form and reflect the informal nature of text exchanges. Redactions were applied by the University prior to release. No additional edits have been made.
