University of Virginia Rejects President Obama’s Speaking Request

University of Virginia Rejects President Obamas Speaking Request

The University of Virginia on Friday declined President Barack Obama’s request to speak at the university when he visits Charlottesville on Wednesday, a UVA spokesperson confirmed to WVIR-TV.

UVA shot down the president after his campaign reportedly requested the use of one of their two outdoor venues: the Amphitheater or the Harrison-Small Library plaza.

The university says it declined the commander-in-chief’s request for several reasons, citing class cancellation concerns and security costs

WVIR has more details:

UVA estimates could be more than 186 classes on the second day of school. The other main reason is they would have to take on the full cost of security, and because of university policy and their federal and state tax exempt status, they would have to offer the same opportunity to the other candidate so as not to show favor for either candidate.

Other than the denied request from the university, questions still remain about the where and when of the event.

The Albemarle County Democratic Party blocked off 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on their website‘s calendar for Obama’s visit, but there is still a lot of speculation and uncertainty.

UVA spokesperson Carol Wood confirmed President Obama will not be speaking at the university.  Meanwhile, other information coming in Friday is narrowing down the details.

However, in an interesting twist, the University of Virginia Communications Office said Friday they offered to allow the Obama campaign to use the John Paul Jones Arena, but Obama staffers replied, the location “was not academic enough.”

Albemarle County Police Chief Steve Sellers said they may have a “proposed” location but can’t reveal its location because of Secret Service restrictions. Nonetheless, WVIR reports that it could be the nTelos Wireless Pavilion.

Confirming some speculation, nTelos Wireless Pavilion General Manager Kirby Hutto told WVIR that they have been asked to “save the date” but no plans have been solidified.

“Virginia is one of the battleground states and we’re quite excited that Charlottesville is considered one of the more important destinations in Virginia, a place that will play a big role in electing the next president, so we’re very excited about it and looking forward to it,” Charlottesville Democratic Co-chair Jim Nix said.

All the specifics about President Obama’s now highly publicized visit are expected to be released sometime this weekend. Hopefully a location “academic” enough for the president can be located and booked.

Here is the full statement that WVIR received from University of Virginia Spokesperson Carol Wood:

Many of you have asked about whether President Obama will be holding an upcoming campaign rally in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia.

I am writing to tell you that the University met with five members of the Obama Presidential Campaign on Wednesday. The campaign requested the use of one of two outdoor University venues  — the Amphitheater or the Harrison-Small Library plaza.  After reviewing the campaign’s request for either of these two sites and the impact on the University, the University declined the request for the following reasons:

  • As you know, Aug. 29 is the second day of classes overall and the first day of classes on the Monday/Wednesday/Friday academic schedule.
  • The use of either of the desired sites would require closing buildings adjacent to the sites for the entire day.
  • The cancellation of 186 classes would occur if the site is the Amphitheater or closing of the libraries and Newcomb dining if the site is the Harrison-Small plaza. This would result in an extraordinary disruption of the second day of the new semester.
  • In addition to the disruption to classes, the University would have to bear the full cost of security — a substantial and open-ended expenditure of staff time and money.
  • By University policy, we would also have to offer the same accommodations and bear the same costs for other candidates.  Both our federal and state tax-exempt status requires that we not favor any candidate.
  • The Secret Service will have final approval on the site chosen and will dictate the security requirements, but at a minimum the buildings adjacent to the event venue would need to be closed on Aug. 29.  Adjacent buildings will be searched and secured with officers posted in each starting at least 6 hours prior to the event.

      “the Amphitheater or the Harrison-Small Library plaza.”

      Obama wanted a place that would make him look larger than life, He wanted an amphitheater because it would be similar to the stage of Invesco field, where Greek columns were used. For several months after that Obama used reverb to seem godlike

      Google: +Obama+reverb +speeches

      I am so tired of Democraps. The fiscal cliff is coming & they are playing chicken. Obama has screwed things so much I almost hopes he wins so he can take credit for the fiscal collapse. Or people give him credit & we never elect another Demoncat.

      Fiscal distress & all Obama can do is try to appear godlike with amphitheaters & reverb.

      It tends to cast a more “truthful” prospective on the issues at hand and “halo’s” just don’t show up.

      So the University of Virginia either couldn’t bring themselves to support a Republican presidential candidate speaking there, or they couldn‘t afford it in today’s economy. I never knew that the place “sponsoring” the candidate/President had to pay for the security. I thought it had to come out of their campaign funds. That speaks a lot about the economy….it’s the economy, stupid.

After use, it reeks, no one wants to go in for quite a while, you need paper to clean the mess, and there is plenty of BO.

      THE John Paul Jones was a captain in the brand-new American Navy, famous for his response to a request for surrender from the captain of the British frigate ‘Guerriere’. “I have not yet begun to fight”.

      The John Paul Jones to whom you refer was a well-respected studio musician in England, and was recruited by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to be the bassist for Fred Zeppelin, along with arguably one of the best drummers to ever sit behind a kit, Bonzo Bonham. Page was a better guitarist than Townsend (though Pete was a better songwriter), and Bonzo was as crazy as Moon the Loon. The Who were never the same…..

    He thinks there are 57 states, can’t spell ohio, can’t pronounce common words, and thinks hawaii is a part of asia. Yep, he really needs to speak at a collage.

      @Grimster

      Sounds right.

      I love seeing him soundly rejected. He came to Ohio this last week, couldn’t find an audience at Capital, had to move to OSU for the cameras, and that was nearly empty as well.

      As far as I’m concerned, he can flame up and burn in hell. The pulblic apparently doesn’t like socialism. Who knew?

    Good decision UVA.

    Who wants to listen to a canned speech, read off of teleprompters, filled with pandering, platitudes, and falsehoods? Oh wait, liberal college students…

    HOLY COW — did you all know that — OVER 2 MILLION Died in America alone while Obama was president ?? It’s True!!

    ——————

    My point – when you make up stupid headlines that don’t fit the story – it makes you look really dishonest

    OBAMA DENIED A SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT —- makes it sound like someone said — “OH HELL NO we don’t want Obama” —– when in fact it was more like “Too disturbing on the second day of class”

      ERIC: Headlines are taught to be ” attention getters .” Just an old journalism trick. Just like they push using active verbs.

    I wonder if low crowd numbers had anything to do with their decision.

    As a cross state Virginia Tech alumni, I’ve never been prouder of our rival. I only wish we had turned Joe Biden down.

    The Democrats need “ an academic enough ” location for Obama to speak ? A guy who has locked up his college records and refuses to release them ? Academic enough ? A guy who lectured but calls himself a ” professor ?” Academic enough ? Just more of that arrogant narcissim from the Hider-in-Chief . 99% pure hypocrisy ! Am just surprised the Obama Crowd hasn’t accused the school of racism !

      Barber, great post. I bet Obama can’t blame this on Bush. Bush went to Yale and he released his College Transcripts.

    The Narcissist bastard can‘t take it when people don’t want their lives screwed up just for him. I don’t think any street,road, school or industry should be shut down just for him to run his lying racist mouth.

      When he speaks he will say “I” about 50 times and blame Bush for something about 4 times.

    Oh no…Rejection. Clinical Narcissists such as Obama do not take rejection well.
    I am concerned that UVA will be on the receiving end of some Obama retribution.
