520			_a"For 145 of its 177 years, the University of Virginia was a nearly all-white, all-male preserve, a Southern finishing school where a gentleman's 'C' was perfectly acceptable. It was also a place where, in February 1861, as the nation girded for civil war, students crept atop the school's famous Rotunda and hoisted a Confederate flag. And that's about where the affirmative-action era found Thomas Jefferson's university in 1969, still dragging its heels on civil rights, saddled with a history of segregation and unremarkable academic achievement. Fast-forward three decades to a new University of Virginia, dubbed the nation's top public university in 2000 and--amazingly enough--a leader in terms of racial diversity." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article examines how the claim by most selective universities in the US that "a richer ethnic mix on campus means a better education" plays out at the University of Virginia.
