Darden, Jr., to J.N.G. Finley, Director of Northern Virginia Center (and University College). This letter, in which Darden thanks Finley for mailing him a news clipping about the site selection controversy, demonstrates how the two chief executives were on the outside of the controversial process of site selection. The University of Virginia’s Board of Visitors and the two appointed Northern Virginia boards, the Board of Control and Advisory Board, were the main players in the sometimes difficult negotiations.
