Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger removed Virginia Tech Board of Visitors rector John Rocovich from his role Wednesday, accusing him of violating the board’s code of ethics.
“Your conduct has violated the Code of Conduct for Commonwealth Appointees to Boards, Authorities, & Commissions, the Virginia Tech Board of Visitors’ Code of Ethics, and the governing statues requiring board members to act in accordance with the best interests of Virginia Tech,” Spanberger wrote in a brief letter that did not touch on specific violations.
The governor’s office responded to a request from Inside Higher Ed for more details by sending a news release about Rocovich’s replacement, which offered no additional insights on the matter.
