Media Credit: Hatchet File Photo LeBlanc has said he plans to engage the GW community with regular communication as the University looks toward post-pandemic operations. News By Zach Schonfeld Apr 26, 2021 2:18 AM As University President Thomas LeBlanc found himself increasingly at odds with faculty while the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, he locked in on a defined messaging strategy – communicate regularly and don’t overpromise. At each defining moment over the past year, like summer demonstrations fueled by the murder of George Floyd, an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and extensions of remote learning, the University community’s inboxes have been filled with messages from a regular sender – “President Thomas J. LeBlanc.” As the Board of Trustees works to conduct its standard review of LeBlanc, the University president also faces growing criticism from faculty who have been calling for him to resign since last February.
