continue research.
"I think it's vital that we sup-
port these studies, and the report
that comes back will enable us to
actually know what we're talking
about when we have discussion
about the sites," Teall said.
Hieftje explained that a major
misconception about accepting
a grant he often notices is that
accepting would commit money
the city uses for other services.
"Will accepting this grant in
any way compromise in any way
our ability to pay for essential ser-
vices like police and fire?" Hieftje
asked City Administrator Steve
Powers during the meeting.
"No," Powers replied.
"Prettysimple answer," Hieftje
said.
Hieftje said he views planning
and building a new station as a top
priority for Ann Arbor.
"If we're going to further our
economy, we're going to need
transit, and I can't think of a bet-
ter way to bring workers to Ann
Arbor than on a train (or) a more
environmentally-friendly way to
do that than having a robust rail
system," Hieftje said. "And as
we've all heard, the current sta-
tion we have is not going to sus-
tain that."
Motivation behind
abrupt departure
remains vague
By ADAM RUBENFIRE
Daily NewsEditor
Teresa Sullivan, former Uni-
versity provost and executive vice
president for academic affairs,
announced today that she will be
stepping down as president of the
University of Virginia after only
two years at the institution.
This morning in a press release,
the University of Virginia said its
Board of Visitors - a legislative
body similar to the University's
Board of Regents - and Sullivan
had "mutually agreed" that she
would resign from her position as
President, effective Aug.15.
Sullivan was quoted in the
release, saying a "philosophical dif-
ference of opinion" was the reason
for her departure.
This afternoon, in an address
to UVA vice presidents and deans,
University Rector Helen E. Dragas
- who serves as chair of the Board
of Visitors - suggested that Sulli-
van's exit came as a surprise to the
University.
"We know this news is a great
shock to the institution. We deeply
appreciate all that Terry has given
to the University over the last two
years," Dragas said, as reported by
the Cavalier Daily.
Sullivan previously announced
that she would leave the University
of Michigan in January 2010 after
receiving UVA's offer to be its next
president.
In an interview that January,
Sullivan told The Michigan Daily
she wasn't expecting UVA's offer.
She also told to the Daily that she
felt she had a "big learning curve"
going into the position, as she was
not familiar with the Board of
Visitors and the government of the
State of Virginia.
The Board of Visitors intends to
"expeditiously" appoint an interim
president, and will soon begin to
look for a new president, according
to the release.
