What is a distinguished faculty? I suspect it means well known people in their field. But being known in one's field of expertise does not always make one a good teacher.

The charging significantly more for in-state tuition is not a good plan for the Virginia students who attend UVA.

I've always been surprised it's rated as highly as it is. It hardly has the breadth of excellence, and certainly not in research, that one finds at Cal or Michigan.

We really need a multi-campus, centrally managed Virginia University system rather than a bunch of disparate, independent and autonomous schools that happen to be publicly funded.
