UVA Campaign Pushes Access, Independence

The University of Virginia launches its 'Our U.Va.' campaign, spotlighting expanded access for students and greater university independence from state meddling. UVA plans 3% tuition hikes for in-state undergrads at $16,746 next year, offsetting with one-time rebates funded by state support and efficiencies to shield Virginia families. Out-of-state students face steeper costs without relief, as the board rejects cuts to bloated administrative overhead amid inflation and mandated pay raises.
