The problem there is very real and has indeed been swept under the carpet for many, many years.
Are you saying that what I have heard directly from friends whose judgement I respect is a bunch of noise not related to the reality there?

I don't know if it's related to reality and neither do you. Let's deal in facts. Not feelings. Or second hand anecdotes. What are the supporting facts for your contention that "the problem there is very real and has been swept under the carpet for many, many years". Are you claiming this problem is unique to UVA culture?
