Fascinating story for even those not connected to the University: The board overseeing the University of Virginia reinstated President Teresa Sullivan just 16 days after its head ousted her in a secret coup that led faculty, alums, and students to revolt. Implications for the future of higher ed, but an interesting story more generally. Can anyone think of the head of any large institution--CEO, coach, etc.--that has been so publicly pushed out and then reinstated? Steve Jobs, sort of, but that was years later.
