Why The UVA President Should Be Fired

“A top-ranking official at the U.S. Department of Education’s Office
of Civil Rights has emerged as a potentially key figure in Rolling
Stone’s false article, “A Rape on Campus.”

Catherine Lhamon, who heads the Department’s civil rights wing, was
identified in a letter sent last month by University of Virginia Dean of
Students Allen Groves to Steve Coll and Sheila Coronel, the two
Columbia Journalism School deans who conducted a review of the Nov. 19
article, written by disgraced reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely.

Groves’ letter was included as a footnote to the Columbia deans’
report, which was released on Sunday and cataloged the failures and lies
that led to the article’s publication.

In the letter, Groves wrote that he has suffered “personal and
professional” damage as a result of Erdely’s reporting and comments
Lhamon made about him which were included in the article.

As the Rolling Stone article fell apart, Lhamon’s involvement has
gone virtually unmentioned. But a deeper look reveals her ties to Emily
Renda, a University of Virginia employee and activist who put Erdely in
touch with Jackie, the student whose claim that she was brutally
gang-raped by seven members of a fraternity on Sept. 28, 2014, served as
the linchpin for the 9,000-word Rolling Stone article. . . . Lhamon
has been invited to the White House nearly 60 times, according to
visitor’s logs. Renda has been invited six times. Both were invited to
the same White House meeting on three occasions.”

Virginians have a right to expect that college administrators won’t use hoaxes to attack and ostracize their children in order to advance political agendas. Someone in government needs to suggest Sullivan can’t be trusted to protect students from unjust persecution. UVA is chartered by the state, iirc.
