The streets are filled with rumors and speculation on what has happened. Has Rick Turner sacrificed his career at the University of Virginia to protect a student? The facts are all missing but it seems from the outcome, it was extremely ugly. This is the man who won the University's Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award, "given to one who helps others because of his love for, and commitment to mankind."
RickTurner has always stood up for African American Students, and he achieved the greatest increase in enrollment, and one of the highest graduation rates in the United States for African American students while Dean at the University of Virginia.
Monday the University announced the interim replacement with Doctor Maurice Apprey. His goal is not change, "but maintaining and expanding the successes we have achieved and how we can maintain, that is my first goal." He starts on August 15th.
If it is true that Rick Turner gained thnotorietyoty at the end of his stellar career by attempting to protect the promising future of someone who made a tragic mistake. I certainly hope that the person who was worth such a great price, remembers all of his life, the cost to Rick and the University even our Community as a whole. The only repayment can be, to Live Up to What is Expected of You!
It is so easy to blame someone or something else, when things go wrong. Just like everything else in Rick Turner's life he continues to be an example. He has admitted his wrong, agreed to comply with the criminal investigation, and moved on.
We wish you the best Rick, we hate to see you go! It truly is our loss!
