YAF Defends Former Director As UVA Faculty And Students Petition To Revoke Job Offer

A conservative student organization is coming to the defense of former White House official Marc Short as some of his new colleagues and students at the University of Virginia attempt to revoke his appointment as a faculty member.

As The Daily Wire reported Monday, Short announced he would leave his position as White House Legislative Director to join the university’s Miller Center, which focuses on presidential history and public policy. In response, nearly 2,000 faculty, students, and alumni have signed a petition declaring, “Stop UVA From Hiring Trump Official Marc Short.”
