Vice Rector Mark Kington's Letter of Resignation to Gov. McDonnell
June 19, 2012 — It has been a great honor to serve on the board of visitors of the University of Virginia, and I am deeply grateful to you for giving me that opportunity.
In order to better serve this university which I love and respect, and to help bring about new leadership on the board of visitors at this critical time, I am resigning my position as vice rector and as a board member effective immediately. I believe that this is the right thing to do and I hope that it will begin a needed healing process at the university.
