University President Thomas LeBlanc lost the confidence of many faculty, staff and students during his tenure, but one group has remained steadfast in its public support for the embattled president: the Board of Trustees.
Trustees, many of whom voted to hire LeBlanc for the job in 2017, have repeatedly commended the president’s leadership during his time at GW through various statements and at Board meetings. The Board doubled down on their support through their message to the GW community after LeBlanc’s departure announcement, lauding his efforts to lead the University out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
