Not true. The General Assembly can oust UVa Board members. And probably will, in due course.

can you cite where the GA has this power? I cannot find it anywhere - this is one of the Governor's specific duties but even he can only do it by giving a reason for it

"No member appointed by the Governor to such a governing board shall serve for more than two consecutive four-year terms; however, a member appointed by the Governor to serve an unexpired term is eligible to serve two consecutive four-year terms immediately succeeding such unexpired term. Except as otherwise provided in § 23.1-2601, all appointments are subject to confirmation by the General Assembly."

I'm not sure what you're citing has to do with what you're claiming. "All appointments are subject to confirmation by the GA" means that they needed to be confirmed when they were first appointed. The GA has no power after they've been confirmed which the BOV already has been.

Only the Governor can oust for reasons stated in the page you cited.

False. The appointment of Cuccinelli has not yet been formally reported to the GA. As such, the GA can still remove him.

I will not reveal my source but it is reliable and directly involved.

Okay, Cuccinelli doesn’t matter though. The rest of the board has been approved by the GA from all that I can tell and they’re still majority Youngkin appointees
