The Supreme Court of Virginia has refused to hear the appeal of a Fairfax County circuit judges granting of an injunction prohibiting the seatings of eight Senate committee-rejected university board members, including former state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli to the University of Virginia’s Board of Visitors.

ACPS announced the death in an email to parents Sunday.

The University of Virginia’s Faculty Senate called for the Board of Visitors to halt the search for next president and for the immediate resignation of Rector Rachel Sheridan and Vice Rector Porter Wilkinson during its Friday meeting.

In a letter to the faculty senate, Jim Ryan said Rachel Sheridan – before becoming BOV rector – worked with the DOJ and the Governor’s office to force him to resign as UVA’s president.

A world-renowned UVA School of Medicine allergist has confirmed the first death in U.S. history of a “meat allergy” occurring after someone is bitten by a Lone Star tick.
