Is the UVA and Charlottesville brand damaged forever?

Harvard produces terrorists.

That’s the same logic used by those here trying to paint UVA as a hothouse for white supremacists.

Can we therefore just say that UVA is the Harvard of the mid Atlantic and shut down this thread already! Is it just me or does it feel like most dcum threads end up getting derailed by posters going on about how selective it is and giving advice on how to get in. Perhaps there should be a separate college forum for VA state schools and one for the rest of us?

Harvard is the UVA of New England. . .

Back to the original question after all the diversions. The riots aren't going to be forgotten anytime soon, but bad things have happened in many cities and at many universities and they generally bounce back. UT Austin had a sniper in the tower in the 1960s. Even Penn State is bouncing back from their Sandusky scandal. I don't think UNC has been hurt at all from its athletic academic scandal. So some people will remember it and continue to bring it up but it isn't going to change many minds.

Harvard has produced some of our worst Presidents so far so, no, I don't think it'd be fair to UVA to say they are the Harvard of the mid-Atlantic

On the other hand it is 8 to 0 (8 to 1 if you count Woodrow Wilson's semester at UVA law). Off topic, but among Obama, Bush 43, Kennedy, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, Hayes, John Quincy Adams, and John Adams, who was bad?

2 or 3 of those for sure.

Which is a higher number than UVA's
