Eastern Virginia Medical School president and his predecessor both knew, and kept quiet
Richard Homan, president and dean of Eastern Virginia Medical School , speaks during a news conference, Wednesday, May 22, 2019, in Norfolk, Va., about a report announcing the results of an investigation into a racist photo that appeared on Va. Gov. Ralph Northam’s 1984 medical school yearbook.
“In no way did I want to be perceived as having put any weight on the scales of an election,” he said Thursday from Long Island, where he was a wedding. “That was not my job. My job is to manage and grow and improve the academic institution for which I’m responsible.” NORFOLK, VA - FEBRUARY 4, 2019: The grounds of Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, VA, photographed on February 4, 2019. Homan said he did not tell the Board of Visitors after he saw the Northam yearbook page. He said consulted the school’s attorney briefly, and she did not disagree with his thinking that it would be wrong to make the image public during the heated 2017 campaign for governor. He also didn’t feel the need to consult outside counsel.
Asked to comment on the notion that by doing nothing, he was putting his thumb on the scale, Homan demurred. “To make that public at any time would have had significant political implications. We’re not political so there was a decision not to do it,” he added. “His thought processes -- I talked to him after the fact -- were similar to mine.”
