I don't get your point - the people who are pissed off are the students and faculty of UVA. There are also many Virginians who have no association with UVA who are pissed off (including myself; I attended Virginia Tech and lived in Virginia for the vast majority of my life).
The fundamental problem, I think, is the Board of Visitors model for running public universities. We had serious problems with this back in 2003 at Virginia Tech (http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/1171/board-of-visitors-reinstates-affirmative-action-sexual-orientation-in-non-discrimination-policy http://www.collegiatetimes.com/stories/1171/board-of-visitor...).
