The University of Virginia has created a presidential working group to determine how to focus on improving the relationship between town and gown. UVA President Jim Ryan has asked the group to identify the most pressing issues for the community and to explore the best long-term structure for developing solutions, possibly through the establishment of a council or board. A report from the group will be delivered to Ryan by February. The feedback is part of one of Ryan’s larger goals of using community engagement and feedback to shape UVA’s strategic plan.
