The
Semester at Sea program dominated much of the
University of Virginia’s Faculty Senate
meeting on Feb. 28. Vice President and Provost
Gene D. Block outlined how U.Va. assumed sponsorship
of the more than 40-year-old program, which
will fill a niche in the University’s
foreign studies program and increase U.Va.’s
international recognition.
“I am optimistic this will be an outstanding U.Va. venture,” Block
said. In other business, President John T. Casteen III said the administration
is investigating a tuition waiver at U.Va. for children of faculty, a senate
concern. Full

 The
Virginia Quarterly Review at the University
of Virginia has won the Phoenix Award for
Significant Editorial Achievement in a
robust contest for journals that have recently
undergone dramatic and significant improvements
for the period from 2003 to 2005. The award
from the Council of Editors of Learned
Journals stated that VQR won because it “extends
the notion of what an academic journal
is and can do.” VQR “truly
has arrived at the boundary between an
academic and a high-brow trade publication” as
it reinvented itself “with imaginative
panache.” Full
story.
