The vice rector of the University of Virginia’s Board of Visitors resigned Tuesday, saying he wanted to help quell the turmoil surrounding the abrupt ouster of President Teresa Sullivan.

Mark Kington said in a letter to Gov. Bob McDonnell that he was stepping down immediately as vice rector and also would quit the 16-member board, nearly two years before the end of his term. That came hours after the board named an interim president to head the university when Sullivan departs Aug. 15.
