Back in 2020, I was saddened and appalled when a student living on the Lawn scrawled "F--- UVA" in massive letters on her door. Where did this animosity originate? How had such thinking gained traction at Mr. Jefferson's University? The EscapeRoom exhibit provides part of the answer.

Meet Marisa Williamson. The Harvard-educated assistant professor in the University of Virginia art department works in video, image-making, installation and performance art around themes of history, race, feminism, and technology.

UVA is in the midst of a $1 billion DEI program. Student tuition, progressive third-party foundations, and taxpayer money fund this massive initiative. However, the tenets of DEI are fundamentally anti-American and radical.

We applaud OpenTheBooks for its extensive research and for its willingness to hold the Ryan administration's feet to the fire over the number of DEI administrators employed by UVA. But we must remember that there is an even bigger story to be told.

For anyone interested in UVA governance, it can be immensely helpful to consult Board of Visitors proceedings. Archiving the video is essential to maintaining transparency and accountability, and if UVA won't do it, The Jefferson Council will.

This grading measure is worthy of attention by the Board of Visitors.

Tens of millions of dollars in student tuition and taxpayer monies are flowing into promoting anti-American notions and radical philosophies that judge the color of one’s skin instead of the content — and competence — of their character.

What do you get when you turn over management of organizational culture to an army of bureaucrats?
