Remarks by the Rector

        The Rector thanked the Board for their engagement.  He said the rest of the semester promises to be as active as the first part, and he asked, again that the Board give  administrators a little grace in working with all 17 members.  He said they are also trying to run a complex university with difficult issues daily.  He asked that they continue to work through the committee chairs and the Board office.  

        Rector Hardie thanked Brie Gertler and Dr. Mitch Rosner for assuming the interim provost and EVP for health affairs positions respectively.  He said they are both exceptional leaders.

        He also thanked Dr. Craig Kent for his five-year service to the University.  He said Dr. Kent accomplished many things in that short time, including successfully stewarding the Health System through the pandemic, expanding the reach of UVA Health to other parts of the state, and working closely with Paul Manning and others on the launch of the Biotechnology Institute.  

        Mr. Hardie said J.J. Davis also deserves the Board’s sincere appreciation for her steadfast leadership and financial acumen that requires navigating uncertain waters.

        He spoke about the dinner the Wednesday evening with the Monticello Board and staff.  He said it was a special evening for everyone attending and UVA needed to do more in collaboration with our UNESCO partner.  He thanked President Ryan for his remarks about the 200th anniversary of the first classes at UVA, mentioning that  Jefferson faced major obstacles and challenges getting the University started, and 200 years later those at UVA work very hard every day to make further progress on his visionary ideas about public education.

        Looking forward, the Rector reminded members about events on the calendar including May 10 College at Wise commencement. Governor Youngkin is the commencement speaker this year.

        He also mentioned the vice rector election at the June Board meeting.  Traditionally, members nominate other members or themselves as candidates but hold off until no earlier than a month before the meeting.  The discussion is in closed session on Friday afternoon, and then a vote is taken in open session.  

        Mr. Hardie said he was going to Wise to teach a class, and he was looking forward to working with the College at Wise students.  

Remarks by the Student Representative

Ms. Lisa R. Kopelnik, student representative to the Board, gave the following remarks.

For the last time, thank you Mr. Rector, and good afternoon everyone. It is an honor to be here.

I give these remarks during a period of change and uncertainty for the University, and it is in these moments that I am reminded of the wide-ranging and diverse viewpoints the student body holds, which bring us strength and certainty. I am also reminded of the value of a healthy and transparent relationship between the Board and students, and the importance of honoring the commitments we have made to prioritize student success with nuance and empathy. Through cultivating this relationship, my hope is that the decisions we make as a Board are always grounded in UVA’s reality.

I’ve spoken with students who do not feel the impact of recent headlines in their daily lives. Many students have nuanced views on these changes, including students who agree with them in whole or in part. But a large portion that has only been increasing have expressed serious concerns about their future in higher education, regardless of their views. I’ve heard from PhD and graduate students, who are worried that these changes will limit our ability as an institution to conduct cutting-edge research. They are worried it will limit our ability to enroll future PhD students who will push us forward and broaden the horizons of the next generation, and to attract the greatest minds to the University. I’ve spoken with students relying on AccessUVA who are worried that cuts will affect their financial aid, limiting who can enjoy the privilege of attending this school we all love. I’ve spoken with international students who are worried about their access to a UVA education. Students are worried these changes will affect their sense of belonging and community here and the everyday resources they access here. These are urgent and real issues and students are looking to us to respond in ways that accord with our values, while also understanding the many responsibilities the Board is charged with.

Regardless of students’ views, the consensus is the following: there are far more students that are paying attention to what the university is doing in addition to the national news, and they care that their university is reasonable, empathetic, and nuanced in their response. They care that UVA remains committed to student self-governance, specifically that student voices are included across all levels of decision-making.

I have the privilege of giving these remarks on the 200th anniversary of classes beginning, though I am missing my Beatles class to be here today (sorry Professor DeVeaux). What a privilege, and what a reminder of how great this University truly is. In preparing these remarks, I thought about where we are today compared to 200 years ago. We’re sitting in the rotunda, originally a library, that remains the heart of this University and represents the fundamental commitment Jefferson made to education, to research, and to discovery. Over the last 200 years, the University has become a powerhouse research institution, with students coming to the University to have these opportunities. I’ve spoken with students this semester who have built cars using software they’ve developed in UVA classrooms, who do world class research using the telescopes at the UVA observatory, and who conduct international research on global health and humanitarian aid, bringing UVA’s mission around the world. Whether in space or abroad or here on grounds, discovery and the pursuit of knowledge is a commitment that is synonymous with UVA, and as we expand our capacity to do research with new centers and faculty, students look to the Board to carry this commitment forward despite challenges that may come our way.

Even after 200 years, traditions shape UVA. This winter included two snowball fights and a snow day, where thousands of students were reminded of the work hard play hard mentality that makes this university what it is. Students participated in the tradition of student self-governance, as the student-run University Board of Elections facilitated a successful round of student elections, with thousands of students voting to elect new leaders for the next year. Students are spirited, especially at our sports games. Civil discourse is still an integral part of the UVA experience. The oldest student organization on grounds, the Jefferson society, is celebrating its bicentennial this summer, the History club which has put together events to celebrate this milestone, or through Jeffersonian dinners held in Pavilions on the lawn. Students are driven by service, with organizations, such as the newly formed Friends of Appalachia, regularly host philanthropy and community events to raise awareness and serve different communities. Whether you’re the third generation in your family to come to the University of Virginia, and your grandparents were taught by Professor Elzinga, or you show up to UVA for the first time on move-in day, we are all united by the magic, opportunity, and community that is Virginia. Students want to help improve UVA and recognize the people who make UVA special. Acutely aware of emerging safety concerns, students are grateful to the support from JJ and her staff, and Chief Longo and his officers, who aided students through both weather challenges and threats to safety. While the pressures that UVA experiences have grown exponentially in magnitude, students look to the Board to know that our voices are heard, considered, and respected. We rely on each other, keeping education, research, thoughtful conversations, and joy at the heart of the University.

One of the rare things every student here has is an acceptance letter from UVA. While many of you have this in your possession as well, I want to share a line from the version we have all read and taken to heart: “People are fond of saying that the University of Virginia is Jefferson’s University. However, it will also be very much your university.” Jefferson’s vision for a university accessible to all, for a university that uplifts the Commonwealth has been expanded to include people of all backgrounds. Our first President’s dream of a research university that serves the breadth of the community has been realized. UVA has been imagined for centuries as an institution that creates and shares knowledge by and for the public. Their commitment, our commitment, to a diverse student body is fundamental to today’s University experience. Over the course of the last several weeks, there has been a lot of focus on what’s legal and lawful, and what’s coming out of the federal branch. But it’s also important to remember what the University of Virginia stands for, and the community we aspire to have – specific community spaces and resources for different students matter, and they shape the everyday lives of students. We as Board members have the honor of being faithful stewards of this mission, so that two more centuries of students may have the privilege of attending UVA and meeting people that they never would have met otherwise, and whose lives are shaped by the different perspectives and life experiences they encounter. Students rely on the good governance of the Board – they look to the Board for support and an effort to understand, and to be independent and stay true to UVA’s values and community of trust. The trust that we share is what makes the community at this university meaningful – and that includes the trust between the Board and the students.

As I reflect on this being my final meeting, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your service to the university and throughout your lives. I have learned so much from each of you, even if we at times disagree, which is what I believe Jefferson envisioned. In every conversation I have with students, I aim to demonstrate your dedication to this university. The next student member of the Board shares deeply in your love and commitment to this university. I feel fortunate that you will have an incredible partner in your work and that students will have such a strong representative. I wanted to further thank the administration for their immense effort and needed vision for the university, especially for students. I wanted to thank my family and friends who have supported me in this role, and to the student leaders I have had the honor of serving with who have changed the university for the better. I wanted to thank the students who inspire me every day, and who are the heart of this University – it has been an honor to represent you. I feel grateful that I will be an alumna of a university that truly values its students, enough to develop them as thinkers and leaders. When I was choosing where to go for college, my dad told me, “Sounds like if you come to Virginia, you won’t regret it”, and boy was he right. Thank you.

Remarks by the Faculty Senate Chair

Mr. James Lambert, Chair of the Faculty Senate, thanked the Rector for inviting him to make a report.  He described that Senators are grateful to the Board for engaging with UVA faculty in formal and other settings.  He updated the Board on a timeline of Senate activities, including deliberations at monthly Senate meetings and a Senate resolution on implications of the 2025 federal Executive Orders.  

Mr. Lambert described three public listening sessions with Senators on sponsored research, immigration enforcement, transgender medicine, diversity programs and other topics.  The Senate hosted BOV members, the University President, Provost, and Director of Athletics in recent Senate and Senate Executive Council meetings. He indicated there is an upcoming presentation and discussion with the acting Executive Vice President for Health Affairs at the Senate's regular meeting in March 2025.

Mr. Lambert described the Senate's interest in Harvard University establishing its own faculty senate in July 2024.  He mentioned the Senate's concern for the University of Edinburgh cutting $180M from its operating budget.  He noted its intellectual and historical ties with the faculty of the University of Virginia.  

Mr. Lambert shared a poem, “Stages” by Hermann Hesse from the novel The Glass Bead Game, which was quoted by Arthur Ashe, and he noted the poem’s relevance to strategic initiatives, constructive ambiguities, and shared governance of the University.
