@Mary -- Dave didn't mention Starsia. I did as another example of what the UVA blind eye let happen. Same issue. Ignore the problems and hope they'll go away. When you stick your head in the sand, what's up in the air?

@Cville Native, your quote of my comment has nothing to do with your response of "And why shouldn't Universities and Colleges have police blotters reported to them?" Are you saying that police were aware of the couple's beating each other. Did he or she report it? If neither, then how could it...

@Mary - I have followed this story closely and am unaware of any factual errors in Mr. NcNair's reporting . Have you found any ? I appreciate the Hook's coverage which I found far more informative and in depth, but not biased, than other media . All towns should be so lucky to have such a fine...

@Mary, you are so full of yourself your eyeballs are brown. I can not find where Dave McNair mentioned Starsia.

With a budget of nearly $1,000,000 and just about a thousand subscribers (so that each subscription costs UVA roughly a mind-boggling $1000 for a $32 subscription!) and not much chance those numbers will improve, I think we're seeing an effort by UVA to get Genoways to move on (his own decision,...

Word Factory, I agree with you. UVa sweeps things under the rug, continually. David McNair, an excellent reporter, has followed the VQR under rungs, through sham audits, to very telling emails. This long story has been told with veracity by McNair and I know a lot of us are grateful. Genoways...

@ Mary: Ted Genoways might be a swell guy at backyard barbecues and greatly loved by his dog, but that has no bearing on his workplace behavior, which was egregious by any known standard. That's the issue here, and if you read the VQR email narrative published in The Hook a few months (?) ago, you...

I am also a home towner and a graduate of UVa. I have also been a loyal follower of the Hook. However, Dave McNair's vicious, biased, obsessiveness with Ted Genoways was unprecedented. Dave took it upon himself to try Mr. Genoways in his court of law. Is it because of his personal, close connection...

Urban farmer and Betty have it spot on. The band on the Titanic comment was funny as it was tragic. People not only become their environments they reconstruct those environments on a minute by minute, day by day basis. UVA is the way it is because administrators, faculty, staff, students all...

@cville native Actually, I think we agree with each other.By no means am I suggesting that everyone at UVA is a bad. I have a background in higher education and a background in lacrosse. The intersection of the UVA good old boy, the intense lacrosse player and the sociopathic behavior of some is...
