The NYT on VQR

On the heels of this Washington Post story, the New York Times has put together its summary of the troubles at Virginia Quarterly Review. The article features some new information—that the literary review's subscription numbers "hover around 2,400," which is significantly less than the 7,000 copy circulation The Hook reported earlier—and a direct interview with editor Ted Genoways:

“I was hired to steward an old and valuable institution,” said Mr. Genoways, his hands folded in his lap during an interview last week. “Until anyone tells me otherwise, I still see myself in that role.”

His fate could hinge on the results of the investigation, which may be completed by the end of the month. In announcing it on Aug. 19, the university’s new president, Teresa A. Sullivan, said in a statement, “The review will, I hope, provide a factual basis for understanding this workplace and deciding what corrective actions, if any, the university should undertake.”
