RICHMOND -- Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II is quickly gaining a reputation as a political antagonist to the state's college campuses.

Cuccinelli (R), in office since January, has already twice taken stands bound to enrage the fiercely independent and largely liberal universities by first challenging university policies that bar discrimination against gays and lesbians and then using a civil subpoena to demand documents from a former University of Virginia professor known his scientific work on global warming.
