The Board of Visitors meets today in a closed session to discuss the university's nondiscrimination policy. The number one and two items on the executive session's agenda for legal counsel are 'Pending Litigation,' and 'Attorney General Advice.'
The meeting comes over three weeks after Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli wrote a letter to all state universities that was later leaked to the public. In the letter, Cuccinelli gave a legal opinion advising the state institutions to remove 'sexual orientation,' 'gender identity' and 'gender expression' from the language of their nondiscrimination policies on the basis of current Virginia state law as determined by the General Assembly.
On Monday, Provost Peter Stearns sat down with C2M Executive Editor, and reaffirmed the university's commitment to nondiscrimination.
