UVa 'watch list' flags VIPs for special handling

UVA has been very good to me as an OOS student, covering all my need and letting me attend for free (didn’t even need a loan!). I understand they’re able to be so generous because of their substantial endowment. Even so, no university which receives public funds should be allowed to discriminate on the basis of wealth. I would rather pay extra for my education than be surrounded by students who are only here because their parents bought them an acceptance letter.
