University of Virginia Library

Ratio Maintained

Mr. Shannon said that the
precise ratio of out-of-state
students to be maintained by
the University is indeterminate.
"I'm opposed to any kind of
arbitrary percentages."

"We can't afford to argue
about percentages–we have to
try to attain our objectives and
the percentages will take care
of themselves."

Those objectives include
providing for qualified
Virginians, carrying out
academic programs and

following through with the
present policies of the Board of
Visitors "that will assure that a
sizable number of Virginians
will be maintained at the
University," he said.
