She was a student at VCU at the time, working at the Wilder school as an hourly employee. Three months after that encounter, Wilder told Black that funding for her hourly position had lapsed, Black said. As she got to know Wilder, Black said, she was excited that a leader whom she admired was taking an interest in her education. There, Wilder told Black there no longer was funding for her position, she said. On Feb. 19, Slovinsky sent Black an email with the name of an investigator assigned to the case.
