[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the Nobel's are almost always awarded to the individuals, not to the institution.  In only two instances in peacetimes have institutions received it (The Red Cross, etc.). You don't win a Nobel "for an institution".  Buchanan wins the Nobel and it travels with him for life. 
 So there are six Nobels at UVA.

Wrong. Buchanan was a professor at GMU with a GMU research staff when he won the Nobel Prize.

Seriously, someone explain to me, what is wrong with these UVA people. I'm reading posts with people explaining UVAs 35 sexual assault is not that bad. It's on the same level as PennState declaring Paterno the true victim of Sandusky's crime.

No one has an actual problem with UVA. And there is nothing wrong with thinking your school is #1 but the inability to accept any criticism is a deep seated insecurity. Every opinion is a rumor and every negative comment is from jealousy. Do you truly believe that when you leave this forum the world is secretly so jealous of your UVA acceptance? To believe that what UVA offers is the pinnacle is naive. I know this is a fact, but the wealthiest families at our private school are all the business owners (home builders/improvement, a/c, plumbers, landscapers, etc). The doctors, lawyers, etc are always kissing ass to these parents who didn't do 4 year college.[/quote]
