IS IT TRUE CRAIG KENT AND MELINA KIBBE TOLD THEIR FACULTY THE BOARD OF VISITORS IS GOING TO CLEAR THEM OF ALL ALLEGATIONS IN THE 9/5/24 NO CONFIDENCE LETTER?

If true, how do Craig Kent and Melina Kibbe know they will be exonerated before the Williams & Connolly investigation has barely begun?

If true, does this confirm our doctors’ skepticism regarding who is directing the Williams & Connolly investigation?

If true, are Craig Kent and Melina Kibbe suggesting the UVA Board of Visitors will protect them regardless of what the Williams & Connolly investigation uncovers?

If true, does this help explain why UVA’s Chief of Communications Brian Coy told The Daily Progress:

Despite the public interest, the university has already said that the findings of the investigation will not be disclosed to the public.

“The report will be delivered only to President Ryan and the Board,” said Coy. “They will work with leaders in the health system to implement any needed changes.”

Those changes will likely not include the removal of Kent or Kibbe, as the letter’s authors have demanded.

If true, are Craig Kent and Melina Kibbe trying to intimidate their faculty and prevent them from telling the truth?

If true, is this another example of how Craig Kent and Melina Kibbe have created and continue to foster a CULTURE OF FEAR & RETALIATION @ UVA HEALTH?

Is it true one of Melina Kibbe’s Associate Deans warned faculty against airing complaints and suggested the administration would retaliate by airing complaints about the faculty they believe are responsible for the 9/5/24 No Confidence Letter?

And is it also true one of Melina Kibbe’s Department Chairs said that he will handle his faculty who he believes supported the 9/5/24 No Confidence Letter?

We call your attention to a plea from our doctors on 9/12/24 in the ADDITIONAL CONCERNS SENT TO UVA BOARD OF VISITORS FOLLOWING UP ON 9/5/24 UVA HEALTH NO CONFIDENCE LETTER:

We are once again putting the University of Virginia Board of Visitors on notice and imploring you to get control of our leadership before further damage is done.

What is going on at UVA Health?

We are Concerned Citizens of Charlottesville and Patients of UVA Health who are troubled by what we have heard from many UVA Health professionals over the past year.

These professionals are not only our doctors and nurses but also our friends, family and neighbors. We believe our community should value and protect its health care workers who have dedicated their lives to helping UVA patients.

A Parrhesiastes is someone who speaks the truth in a clear and honest way…

It's about the courage to speak one’s mind even when it's difficult or unpopular…to prioritize truth over social niceties or personal gain...

But speaking the truth can be dangerous. A Parrhesiastes understands this risk and is willing to face the consequences, from social disapproval to vindictive employers or even violence...

Because ultimately Parrhesiastes act out of a sense of duty.

They believe speaking the truth is necessary for the greater good and to protect the people and institution they love.
