STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT ROBERT M. O'NEIL IN RESPONSE TO THE
RECTOR'S STATEMENT

The real reason is in fact the one I gave Wednesday afternoon. It is the rare and special opportunity presented by the directorship of the Thomas Jefferson Center. In accepting that position I also deeply appreciate the confidence of the Board of Visitors - shown not only in the Rector's generous comments earlier this afternoon but also in the request that I serve through a term that will permit an orderly transition. I shall continue to give the University my very best efforts as President until the day that transition occurs and will then look forward to aiding my successor as he or she carries on.
