the Third Century; and
WHEREAS, the commissions were charged with long-range planning for

student life, athletics, and (in the context of the conclusion of the
capital campaign) financial and management strategies appropriate to
the ongoing enhancement of the University's programs and activities;
and
WHEREAS, the relevant commission reports have been circulated and discussed
widely, and conform to the Board's general intentions and ambitions
for the University.
RESOLVED that the Board of Visitors accepts the Virginia 2020 reports,

goals in consultation with the Board of Visitors, commends the faculty,
staff, and alumni contributors to the Virginia 2020 planning program,
