AAUP Chapter Calls for Investment in Virginia Public Higher Education
What happened
The American Association of University Professors chapter in Virginia called for Virginia legislators to increase investment in public higher education. This advocacy came after the Board of Visitors approved rising housing and dining costs for the 2027-28 academic year. These increases include an average double room rate rise of $441 per person annually and a 4.99 percent increase in meal plan costs.

Why it matters
The AAUP-U.Va. statement characterizes the cost increases as decreasing the accessibility of higher education. The call for greater investment relates to the operational expenses and financial sustainability of public institutions in Virginia.
