Record Group 43 - Woodrow Wilson College [obsolete, 1990]

Biographical / historical:

The Commission on the University of the 21st Century was created by the Virginia legislature and Gov. Gerald Baliles to address increasing needs for higher education in underserved areas of the state, especially in Northern Virginia. In 1989, Virginia Tech under President James D. McComas and University of Virginia under President Robert O'Neil submitted a proposal to the Commission for the universities to establish Woodrow Wilson College in Northern Virginia with a chancellor, undergraduate programs, and joint graduate programs with the universities. The project was cancelled in 1990 due to budget cutbacks and projected issues with having out-of-area administrators.
