It is a tug of war between growing larger to increase revenue and support research and graduate programs, etc., and staying smaller so that selectivity is higher for USNWR, etc. |
UVA and Charlottesville are nearly at war already. What would that look like if they added 10,000 students? |
If UVA needed such revenue they would expand. Clearly they are doing remarkably well with their endowment, donations and research grants. |
DP. I can assure you that 99% of Americans using rankings to help choose colleges could not care less about the Pell Grant issue that you continue to natter on about. NO.ONE.CARES. |
UVA doesn't compete across the board with Berkeley and Michigan, and a significant part of that disadvantage is probably size. |
You cared enough to capitalize everything a la Trump. |
Who cares? Competing with Berkeley and Michigan isn’t the mission of UVA. |
Your privilege is showing. |
Some people at UVA probably care. That is what Teresa Sullivan was brought to UVA (from Michigan) to address. |
Can you cite this claim? |
Whatever. No one actually parses how the rankings are calculated or why they may have changed from year to year. Sorry. |
Capitalizing for emphasis is somehow equated to Trump? You seem simple. |
Times have changed. Sorry. |
And you try to demean people like Trump as well |
What are you saying? All that matters is that a school is ranked high and it does not matter how they were ranked or whether the criteria are valid? |
