  University of the District of Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of the District of Columbia (also known as UDC) is a public university located in Washington, DC.
UDC is also the only urban land-grant university in the country; by virtue of some of its ancestor institutions' history, it is also considered to be among the historically fl colleges.
UDC currently offers over 75 undergraduate and graduate academic degree programs through the College of Arts and Sciences, School of Business and Public Administration, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and the David A. Clarke School of Law.

 University of the District of Columbia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The university is nominally governed by a board of trustees consisting of fifteen members, eleven of whom are appointed by the mayor of the District of Columbia with confirmation by the elected city council.
The political leadership of the District of Columbia seems to have considered the nonfaculty positions in the administration of UDC to be appropriate places for employment of friends, political allies, and individuals in the District government who had to be moved out of their existing positions for one reason or another.
Rather, UDC's dire financial situation was due in part to egregious mismanagement on the part of the District government, and in part to mismanagement by the UDC administration, which gradually converted a financially difficult situation into a large-scale, abrupt disaster by running ever-increasing deficits instead of adjusting, year by year, to its declining appropriations.
