The move comes following the removal of John Rocovich as Rector by Governor Abigail Spanberger in late May.
The board on Tuesday also approved a controversial resolution to proceed with the construction of four new residence halls near Duck Pond Drive and near the current site of the university’s Columbarium.
The university said the action would also support a broader residential renewal strategy consisting of renovation projects of select residential buildings.
The Board also approved an affiliation agreement with the newly created Hokie Ventures, a nonprofit that will support the long-term growth and competitiveness of Virginia Tech Athletics.
