[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dean J has suggested that UVA is not the state’s flagship university. I don’t think VA, per se, claims to have one. VA has a variety of institutions. Everyone can find a place. No need to centralize everything at one school. In California, the UC system is considered the flagship. [/quote]

I don't think there is anything that designates UVA as the flagship in the state legislation or constitution.

It's an interesting point. What is a flagship? I just googled it and wikipedia has five paragraphs of definitions.

[QUOTE]The College Board, for example, defines flagship universities as the best-known institutions in the state, noting that they were generally the first to be established and are frequently the largest and most selective, as well as the most research-intensive public universities. These schools are often land-grant, sea-grant, or space-grant research universities.[/QUOTE]

Virginia Tech and Virginia State are land grant. I had never heard of "sea grant" or "space grant." UVA, W&M, Tech, and ODU are both sea grant and space grant. VCU and GMU are sea grant only. Hampton is space grant only.
