The portfolio of Cuban-American painter Emilio Sanchez contains a broad range of still life and natural scenes, but a collection featuring only his depictions of the built environment makes for a rewarding summer show at the Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia.
A group from the University of Virginia School of Architecture in collaboration with the Ghana Heritage Conservative Trust has outdoored a three-year project for the modernization of the Oguaa Township.
The [Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission] is working with the city, county and the University of Virginia as part of a three-year $1 million federal grant awarded in 2010 for what is known as the Livable Communities Planning Project. One goal is to facilitate the comprehensive plan updates that guide local government planning decisions.
In many ways, on the "day after", the grounds of the University of Virginia looked like any other big college campus in the summertime. Students sauntered between classes, sometimes pausing to text a friend. Faculty members were back at work in their offices.
Alexander Gilliam has worked at the University since 1975 and says he's seen a sense of community among faculty, students, and alumni that he hasn't seen before.
Governor Bob McDonnell is vetting candidates for the University of Virginia's Board of Visitors, but he's not giving clues as to which members of the embattled board will return after their terms end July 1.
The controversy over President Teresa Sullivan’s ouster and reinstatement was framed as a question of whether academic or corporate values should govern higher education. This is the wrong framing. If we faculty rely on it, we will miss important questions. The right question is how any given institution of higher education should attack its long-range ambitions.
The day after U.Va.'s governing board reversed course and reinstated her as president, Teresa Sullivan joined other university presidents and legislators Wednesday at the state Capitol for ongoing policy discussions on challenges facing higher education. In Charlottesville, a resolve to move forward replaced the anger that had consumed the campus.
Even with Teresa Sullivan holding her job at Virginia, all in all, it's been a rough year for leaders of public universities. The universities of Illinois, Wisconsin and Oregon have all seen top-level changes in the past 12 months.
Questions — perhaps years’ worth — still linger about what happened in the past three weeks at the University of Virginia, but Wednesday, members of the university community were exhaling and taking a step back. “Today was a getting-back-to-business day for President Sullivan,” said university spokeswoman Carol Wood.

Research in urban planning is examining how we can obtain a more qualitative location on the map than just an omni-directional lat/long position. Guoping Huang, assistant professor and researcher in Urban and Environmental Planning at the University of Virginia, is combining GPS with digital compass technologies to produce way points on a map that emphasize direction. A GPS way point usually only gives us a lat/long or x,y position on a map that is ambiguous to any one direction. … Using geo-tagged photos, Huang collects visual references of a site into an ArcGIS map over the duration of the ...

The University of Virginia got its president back Tuesday. President Teresa A. Sullivan was reinstated by the university’s Board of Visitors just more than two weeks after the same body forced her to resign. The vote was unanimous. “I’m grateful to the visitors for this renewed opportunity, but more than that I’m grateful to them for the example they have given us in reconsidering and reversing their previous action,” she told the crowd on the Lawn. “This is not a sign of weakness on their part, but a sign of strength and deliberation, and a good example to each of us.”
Shortly before one of my sons graduated from college in 1995, a terrible tragedy struck his university. A student in my son’s dorm murdered her roommate and then killed herself. This produced national headlines, but made no discernable impact on the school’s fine reputation. The next year it still had far more applicants for spaces than it had room for. The same thing happened after the massacre of students by a crazed undergraduate at Virginia Tech. That university’s standing in the highly competitive world of higher education was unaffected. Will the University of Virginia, looking bad at th...
When the University of Virginia Board of Visitors unexpectedly announced this month that President Teresa Sullivan had agreed to step down, the response from some students was: The board of what? Even those who knew the governing board existed didn’t know the reach of its power or that it has 16 voting members who are appointed by the governor for four-year terms. The U-Va. Faculty Senate is now pushing for faculty representation on that board, and others are advocating even more changes.
