Spanberger Shakes Up Virginia University Boards in Early-Hours Power Play

TL;DR Summary
Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger moved quickly after taking office to overhaul the University of Virginia board and revamp boards at George Mason University and the Virginia Military Institute, forcing resignations, appointing 10 new UVA board members (with further changes at GMU and VMI), and installing a new UVA president—an aggressive move to shift university direction and push back against the previous leadership and its diversity-adjacent policies.
