[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which belongs to UDC, not DPR.

Next?[/quote]

It's all part of the Dee Cee government.  And for that matter, a large chunk of the Hearst site is controlled by DCPS, if one if going to be bureaucratically technical about it.[/quote]

UDC is a federal land-grant university.[/quote]

Which, if true, does not make UDC a part of the Federal government.  It is part of and under the control of the DC government.

From the UDC webiste:

Board of Trustees
"In 1974, the U.S. Congress established the Board of Trustees of the University of the District of Columbia to govern the University of the District of Columbia. The Board is a body of the District of Columbia government that has the authority to independently issue regulations governing the University, own and manage the property of the University, and represent the University in court. The Board hires the President of the University System.

The Trustees are charged with establishing and ensuring accreditation of the components of the University System, which at a minimum must include a liberal arts component, a vocational and technical component, and a school of law. They approve all majors and degree programs offered at the University, and set academic policies such as degree requirements and tuition and fees. In addition, the Trustees are responsible for setting UDC's budget in conjunction with the Mayor and City Council.

The University's and Board's authorizing legislation is the Post-Secondary Education Reorganization Act of 1974 (D.C. Official Code §§ 38-1201.01 – 38-1204.07 (2001 ed.))."

additional background

After Congress granted limited home rule to the District of Columbia, the new city council passed D.C. Law 1-36, which authorized the consolidation of the three schools in 1975. A new UDC Board of Trustees took office in May 1976, consisting of 11 members appointed by the Mayor, three appointed by the alumni associations. Thus began the monumental task of creating a new University of the District of Columbia from three very different institutions.[/quote]
