<p>Globalist,</p>
<p>It seems that you have some say as to where UVa spends its money. I agree with barrons, we need more National Academy Professors. Science and Engineering is our worst major department / school and to be internationally recognized, we need that program to be strong. Although I never attended either department / school, I do believe that it is probably not on the same level as the rest of the school. Can you push for more investment in those areas?</p>
<p>A top 15 engineering and sciences rank will do wonders for our reputation and rank - we should easily then be higher ranked than Michigan, Berkeley, etc. We would be on the level of Cornell, JHU, Chicago.</p>
