The Unite the Right rally in 2017 made no difference. This won't either.

DP. I don’t think we’ll see any immediate drop off in applications, but I don’t think these two things are comparable. The Unite the Right rally was not associated with the university administration, it was outsiders.

I don't think people make these distinctions (and you could argue this was outsiders as well). I just don't think it will matter much and people have short memories these days.

If the replacement becomes a political football like at the University of Florida, then there might be some fallout.

Give it a rest already. UVA will be just fine.

DP. I agree they’ll be fine. But a hot steaming pile of Cuccinelli would really leave an unfortunate marr on the school. Problem is, who on earth would want that job now? What serious candidate would risk their career to come in now?

It will lose some top name faculty

It will lose some top OOS applicants who feel like they caved

It will lose more top OOS applicants who just are avoiding these schools seem to be on Trumps hit list. They have 4 years in college and there are too many great colleges. Nobody wants this to be the headline of their school newspaper for the entire time.

It may get a little easier to get into in state

Add: W&M and VT are going to see a surge in applications next year.

I think so, too. Plus, those 2 schools have been investing a lot in infrastructure like new dorms and academic buildings. I’ve seen a lot of great students this year pick W&M or VT. I’m not sure if that is due to UVA’s rep for denying or waitlisting so many qualified NoVA applicants, or what. The political spotlight on UVA right now may further close the prestige gap between VA’s top schools.

Not happening.

VT already passed William & Mary and this could finally make it equal with UVa

That was a one time USNWR methodology change and William & Mary remains much more selective. Unless USNWR makes another methodology change that significantly benefits a school with VT's profile, it won't pass UVA. As it is, the USNWR methodology seems to be getting schools in trouble. Schools are doubling over backwards to increase Pell and first gen enrollment. Pell and first gen populations are higher in some groups than others, and that can be problematic.

Yet VT is still ranked better.

Not compared to UVA.

WSJ ranks VT ahead of UVA.

Not just UVA. WSJ ranks VT better than the majority of Ivy's and Ivy+. And UCLA. And Michigan.

As always, it's the criteria considered which matter; the rankings themselves only reflect the criteria used. If those happen to align with your values, and with the values of grad schools and potential employers which may interest you, then reference to such rankings can be helpful. Otherwise, you're just seeing how different criteria affect the rankings.

WSJ is a solid ranking

Yes. Intelligence and ability will likely become the exclusive criteria by which applicants for admission are evaluated, instead of social class, skin color, ethnicity, or other arguably irrelevant-to-academic-capacity criteria. In consequence, graduates will be perceived as having obtained their degrees thanks exclusively to demonstrated intellectual accomplishment. Employers and graduate schools won't have to wonder about the extent to which non-academic factors contributed to the obtaining of a degree, and can instead rely on the degree to mean something about what a person has done, not what they are by happenstance.

Since when is reproducing privilege considered intellectual ability? Do you really want to go back to the 20th century? LOL

No it will not.
Anyone who is paying for any college after 2026 better get ready for major tuition increases, zero education, and a Christian Nationalist agenda. IE College will be like paying Mega Churches.

I would guess they consider intergenerational social mobility pretty high.

It is clear you have not read project 2025 either. It sounds like you have read articles caricaturizing project 2025.
