<p>Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is once again showing her Left-wing extremist views in action. On Wednesday, May 27, Spanberger <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2026/05/29/spanberger-removes-virginia-tech-rector">fired</a> Virginia Tech Board of Visitors rector John Rocovich from the board.</p>
<p>Spanberger failed to cite any specific incidents in her letter, which accused Rocovich of violating, &#8220;the Code of Conduct for Commonwealth Appointees to Boards, Authorities, &amp; 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.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rocovich wrote his own letter in response, a scathing takedown of Spanberger&#8217;s blatant partisanship and denial that he had violated any of the Board&#8217;s code of ethics.</p>
<p>It is an unprecedented move to oust Rocovich, who has served on the board three times, totaling 16 years, under both Republican and Democratic administrations — the latest as an appointee of Governor Glenn Youngkin in 2022.</p>
<p>Rocovich called Spanberger&#8217;s letter &#8220;deeply offensive,&#8221; and it is &#8220;legally unsupported, and wholly inconsistent with the Governor’s own publicly-stated principles regarding the proper relationship between the executive branch and the governance of Virginia’s public universities.”</p>
<p class="text | article-text">He continues:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="text | article-text"><em>I never have served for personal gain, for partisan advantage, or for any purpose other than the betterment of Virginia Tech and the students it educates. I challenge anyone to identify a single action I have taken on this Board that was inconsistent with the university’s mission or the interests of the Commonwealth.</em></p>
</blockquote>
