HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: “E-mail messages were flying among leaders of the Board of Visitors of the University of Virginia in the weeks leading up to the ouster of Teresa A. Sullivan as president of the university.

Isn’t it interesting that these emails came out immediately, while U.Va. fought bitterly to avoid releasing the ClimateGate stuff? . . . .
