The following statement was issued today by University of Mary Washington Board of Visitors Rector J. William Poole: On April 10, University of Mary Washington President William J. Frawley was involved in a serious automobile accident in Northern Virginia. According to Fairfax County police spokeswoman Camille Neville, Fairfax County Police have issued a warrant for Dr. Frawley on a “driving under the influence” charge. He was admitted to Fairfax Inova Hospital. Dr. Frawley left the hospital early the following morning, April 11, and returned to Fredericksburg. Subsequent to that, he was arrested for “driving under the influence” after a second automobile incident. Dr. Frawley was admitted to Mary Washington Hospital that afternoon for medical treatment. He remains in the hospital at this time and is on leave from the University until further notice. The Board of Visitors of the University of Mary Washington wants to express our deepest concerns and support for President Frawley and his family at this very difficult time. We value President Frawley’s many accomplishments during his tenure at the University. The Board of Visitors asks the students, faculty, staff, and friends in the community to join us in our thoughts and prayers for Dr. Frawley’s complete recovery and for his wife and family. All planned activities and events at the University will continue as scheduled and the Board of Visitors, senior staff, and faculty will continue to lead and manage the University during his absence. During the absence of Dr. Frawley, the Board has asked Vice President Richard Hurley to perform all the functions of the President of the University. The CORE Vice Presidents will continue with all of their designated responsibilities. These arrangements will remain in place until further notice.
