Washington Post: More seats at U-Va. could ease admission woes

[Dean_J]

<p>The Charter agreement actually allowed UVa (and W&M, Tech, and any other school that can manage it) much more freedom over operations than other state schools have. [You</a> can read more about that on our website](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/restructuring/]You”>http://www.virginia.edu/restructuring/).</p>

<p>You can read [some</a> of Jefferson’s own thoughts about the University](<a href=“http://www.monticello.org/site/jefferson/quotations-university-virginia]some”>Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia | Monticello). </p>

<p>

“We with to establish in the upper country [of Virginia] and more centrally for the State, a University on a plan so broad and liberal and modern, as to be worth patronizing with the public support, and be a temptation to the youth of other States to come and drink of the cup of knowledge and fraternize with us.”

<p>

“I hope [the University of Virginia] will prove a blessing to my own state, and not unuseful perhaps to some others.”
