EVMS President Richard Homan, MD, issued a statement Saturday saying the school shares "the outrage, alarm and sadness voiced by our alumni, the press and many on social media."
Homan, who is also the dean of EVMS' School of Medicine, added that the photo is "absolutely antithetical to the principles, morals and values we hold and espouse of our educational and research institution and our professions."

Surely people at EVMS back then or since know all about Northam at the time, the social events, how such a photo came to be taken and placed on his personal page in the yearbook, etc.
One point I haven’t seen anywhere: EVMS is a very small school (around 150 students per MD year, and may well have been smaller in the early 1980s). [source: Wikipedia]
This means that many students in his MD year knew each other VERY well, it is not an institution of many thousands of people.
His classmates are evidently in hiding now, since no one wants to be associated with this, but there must be people out there (such as the other person in the photo and the person who took the photo) who know all about the details.
We need to keep the pressure on to get all the details out. Not because 35 yr old yearbook photos **should** normally be any part of national politics, but because we need to hold the Demoncraps to their own twisted standards (Alinsky style). Give them strong doses of their own medicines.
EVMS was only founded as recently as 1973 (Wiki), so it’s quite possible that it was even smaller than 150 MD candidates per year in its first decade (since many newer institutions grow over time as they get more attention and applicants).
In any case, with a maximum of 150 fellow students in his MD year, and possibly quite a bit fewer, there must be a good proportion of his classmates who know all about his “social” activities and yearbook page at the time.
That one just won the Interwebz. All of dem.
CYA time. Lol.
Here is the precise degree to which their 'outrage' affects me: °
1984 by George Orwell—the surveillance state that knows everything about you from cradle to grave—you just can’t make up this stuff.
They will eat their own—but don’t celebrate—they may be coming for you next.
Liberals are shocked at their party’s racism. This is too funny for words.
Northam of course must resign in disgrace. And the school, since it published that racist photo must close it’s doors in disgrace as well.
I love Mike, and his gorgeous daughter, Sarah!
Shockingly lame.
Surely the student body did such things as have costume parties? What’s wrong with that?
This is antithetical to our valoos.
Oh BS no it’s not - it’s in your yearbook which is probably still on your shelf!
Or have we forgotten that Whoopi Goldberg defended the use of black face back in the nineties?
I wonder what her stance is now?
Frankly - I’m against this kinda gotcha-ism and virtue signaling on all sides. But this is the leftists bed and I’ll force them to play by their rules.
That was a good post by Huckabee. No doubt. I saw one earlier by Pelosi. She called on the governor to resign so the state of Virginia can “heal”.
Hoo Boy.
But she does have a point. Virginia must be a very sick sick state to elect a pro-murderer like Northam as governor.
Hear hear - and any Democrats that stand by and defend him should be forced to resign as well!
oh I hate any of this “gotcha” virtue signalling, for sure, but given how the Libtards do it relentlessly against conservatives we must fight fire with fire. They must be forced to live up to the “standards” they pretend to set, because they sure won’t give US any breaks....
