7. So he's been the head of one of the USA's best universities for years, and some of its board want him gone?

The University of Virginia has been considered among the top five public universities for more than two decades, according to U.S. News & World Report rankings, and has maintained that position during Mr. Ryan’s tenure. This year, the Princeton Review ranked the university as the second-best value among all public colleges. Last year, Time magazine ranked the college as the fourth-best public school at producing future leaders.

Clearly, the policy under him works. If its entrance requirements had produced falling standards, I could see an argument for "diversity is hurting us". But it obviously hasn't.
