| Abstract | The nation's higher education community is watching, waiting with anticipation to see the outcome of Virginia's 2005 Restructured Higher Education Financial and Administrative Operations Act (Restructuring Act), which amounts to a significant renegotiation of the relationship between the Commonwealth of Virginia and its renowned public colleges and universities. In an era that values small government, competition, and private enterprise, this renegotiation seems to some a logical update to an outdated system; to others it represents an ominous sign of changes that are spreading throughout society now reaching the once-protected world of higher education. Onlookers are, of course, all the more fascinated because of the historical significance of tinkering with Thomas Jefferson's universities. The public colleges in Virginia gained more power to conduct certain operations, but their power is checked by new accountability targeted directly at the needs of the state. Many have speculated about what Thomas Jefferson would think of the changes at his university, his alma mater, and his home state's public education system. These changes are discussed in this document. The following are appended: (1) Methodology; (2) Useful Web Sites; (3) Evolution of the Legislation, Including URLs; (4) Timeline; and (5) The State Ask. (Contains 158 endnotes.) (ERIC). |
