[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither Faulkner or Wilson GRADUATED from UVA at any level. Once again, UVA has never had a graduate win a Nobel Prize.  Just give it up already.  [/quote]

Faulkner never studied at UVA for a single day.  [/quote]

No, he just taught there . https://faulkner.lib.virginia.edu/[/quote]

[b]Stop misleading people delusional booster. From the article: "Here you can listen in on William Faulkner’s sessions with audiences at the University of Virginia in 1957 and 1958, during his two terms as UVA’s first [b]Writer-in-Residence[/b]."

Faulkner was a 'writer in residence' for 2 years - he did not teach at UVA.

If you want to count people such as 'writer in residences, fellows, visiting scholars, visiting researchers etc. etc., UNC has dozens.[/quote][/b]

Nevertheless, he was there - you said he wasn't.  He was there teaching.  So UVA gets to claim affiliation.  You could have reserached this.  Took me two seconds to find[/quote]

By that logic, any university visited by a Nobel prize winner can claim affiliation.  The list would be massive.  The Nobel website recognizes where the laureate studied and their association at the time of the work.  Neither applies for Faulkner.  [/quote]
