...Using the always-controversial U.S. News college rankings, Jewler mapped the Lafayette [Elementary] kids' high school decisions against the colleges they eventually went to. ...when you bore down into the list, you see almost no meaningful distinctions between the public and private school kids. ...the kids who went to the top state universities--places such as Berkeley, the University of Michigan and the University of Virginia--seemed just as likely to be graduates of public high school as private high school.
...The School of Law remained in the top 10 nationally tied for 10th with Duke University. The Darden School of Business placed 12th, up one spot from last year and the Curry School of Education was ranked 24th.
While the UVa Men's Basketball team was winning on the court this season, the John Paul Jones Arena was enjoying that success with a strong financial season. In 17 Men's Basketball home games, UVa averaged around 13,000 fans a game resulting in over $3.6 million in revenue. That's almost double last year's revenue at UHall and that's not even counting the entertainment side of the spectrum. "We have done very well this year with concerts. We have sold out right around 7 concerts which for our size market is phenomenal," said JPJ General Manager Larry Wilson.
How and why terrorism manifests itself in Iraq and elsewhere was at the forefront of a discussion Sunday at the University of Virginia's Miller Center of Public Affairs. The freewheeling talk among a group of 12 distinguished and diverse panelists - ranging from former foreign and U.S. government officials to academics - often came back to the war in Iraq.
The University of Virginia's groundbreaking College Guides program has been so successful it's going national. The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation recently announced it was giving $1 million to each of 10 schools across the country to duplicate U.Va.'s effort to get reluctant, low-income high school students into college.
Cohen alluded to those examples to highlight an overall study performed by the Center for Survey Research at the University of Virginia. In its study, the center learned most doctors in West Virginia doubt the "expert" testimony if it is given beyond a physician's specialty or is motivated by money.
When Dr. William B. Bean returned to the University of Virginia in 1968, it wasn't long before he discovered he had been given a "haunted" office. Bean had graduated from UVa's medical school in 1935 and hadn't reported having any eerie experience during that time. But when he returned to his alma mater in the early spring of 1968, things were different. His interest in coming here centered on Dr. Walter Reed, who had received his medical degree from UVa in 1869.
Northrop Grumman Corp. is extending its IT reach into bucolic Southwest Virginia. In tandem with the Virginia Coalfields Economic Development Authority, the conglomerate is providing $1 million for a new software-engineering program at the University of Virginia's College at Wise. ...'We envision junior and senior [student] projects in which students help to solve real business problems,' says U.Va. Wise Chancellor David Prior. ...It isn't only Northrop Grumman that benefits, however. Being able to produce a steady stream of computer experts is vital to an economic renaissance taking place in ...
It's that time of year again, and U.S. News & World Report has announced its rankings of what it judges to be the country's top graduate programs. The University of Virginia had a strong showing again for 2008, with several programs jumping several spots in the rankings. Perhaps the largest increase was evident at UVa's School of Nursing, which ranked 19th - seven spots higher than the last time nursing schools were surveyed, in 2003.
Top honors Friday night for the University of Virginia School of Medicine. U.S. News and World Report says the school ranks 23rd in the nation for research-intensive schools. UVA is the only medical school in the Commonwealth to be included in the top 50 and just one of six schools in the mid-Atlantic to crack the top 30 in the category. Officials attribute the success to the school's ability to attract research funding from the National Institutes of Health. In a year when some schools saw declines in the tens of millions of dollars, UVA held steady.

Challenge to Data on Men's Sports
Inside Higher Ed / March 30
A group that advocates for men's sports released data Thursday that it says show that many more men's teams have been eliminated than National Collegiate Athletic Association statistics typically suggest - cuts the group blames on colleges' trying to carry out Title IX, the law barring sex discrimination.
