Dear Members of the University Community,

Unfortunately, this is not a reaction to Victoria Cobb and the Jepson Award. Instead, this is a reaction to something not as publicized. Jepson is losing its one true student advocate -- Ana Mitric.

Victoria Cobb's alumni leadership award was only days old when her foundation promptly thanked the University of Richmond with an insulting stab in the back. In a misleading, factually deficient post about the award on its official blog, Ms. Cobb's Family Foundation showed just how grateful it was by mocking the university and its students just days after she railed against the evils of name-calling.

Dan Letovsky's recent piece, "Obama's treatment of Israel unfair, dangerous" (April 1, 2010), levies a strong, well-argued criticism against President Obama's controversial dismissal of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the planned expansion of Israeli settlements in contested East Jerusalem.

Upon reading the Family Foundation's blog post about their president, Victoria Cobb, receiving the Jepson School of Leadership Studies' 10th Reunion Recognition Award and the resulting student protest, my first instinct was to laugh. It amused me that the Family Foundation — such a supposedly influential, powerful organization — would be so threatened by a group of undergraduate protesters that they chose to insult us rather than to focus on their esteemed leader in their article. That they were unable to correctly spell the word "hypocrisy" was merely icing on the cake.

No doubt many Collegian readers have observed the black and white sheep cut-outs that seem to be slowly migrating across campus, plastered with cryptic messages reading "SHE'S HERE," as well as providing a convenient phone number to call for more information.

In last week's Collegian, Alex Borwick and Jeff Hunt suggested that the Jepson School's recognition of Victoria Cobb's leadership accomplishments was inappropriate in light of her political positions and professional advocacy. The relevant question to consider, however, is not whether we agree with her political leanings (and I will not argue for them here), but whether she has met the criteria set forth by the Jepson School for quality leadership. The article errs in its conflation of the two.

Tim Kaine, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, spoke to staff and students at the University of Richmond on Monday evening, discussing his role as a leadership studies professor and active politician.

The article last week suggesting that Victoria Cobb should be denied her leadership award immediately struck me as wrong on numerous levels. Most obviously, the authors express dripping intolerance for someone they view as intolerant. In case you missed the irony, they, who champion tolerance, refuse to tolerate someone. It's easy to tolerate different views that are tame, or don't affect you, but if you truly value tolerance, the test occurs when a view comes along which really hits you hard.

As proud Richmond students, we are disappointed with our institution's decision to award Jepson's 10th Year Reunion Recognition to Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation Virginia, a group that lobbies against homosexual rights and anti-discrimination legislation.

My School of Arts and Sciences curriculum has taken me through quite a few buildings and disciplines across campus, but it has never forced me to explore the other two undergraduate schools. For my second column, I braved the trail to the Robins School of Business. My second-to-last column proved time to unravel the mystery enveloping the Jepson School of Leadership Studies.

The Sudanese ambassador failed to make an appearance at the University of Richmond Wednesday because of a last-minute cancellation. Nevertheless, his unexpected absence was beneficial because he met with the U.S. special envoy in Khartoum, Sudan, instead.

War must be a last resort: there must be reasonable expectations for success and there must be a commitment to the just implementation of the war, said University of Richmond professor G. Scott Davis, who spoke Thursday at the third conference of the Jepson International Public Square series.
