Tensions continue at the University of Virginia between President Teresa Sullivan and Rector Helen Dragas.

The Washington Post reported this weekend that Dragas issued a list of 65 goals for Sullivan to work on in a short time frame. This information came through emails obtained by the Post.

Sullivan responded to members of the Board of Visitors, calling the list micromanagement. She said the list was extreme and sets her up to fail.

The board was supposed to discuss the goals at its meeting last month, but the item was dropped from the agenda without explanation.
