	History of Sri Lanka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Following the bloody suppression of the Uva Rebellion or 3rd Kandyan War in 1817 - 1818, a treaty in 1818 preserved the Kandyan monarchy as a British dependency.
		The British found that the uplands of Sri Lanka were very suited to coffee, tea and rubber cultivation, and by the mid 19th century Ceylon tea had become a staple of the British market, bringing great wealth to a small class of white tea planters.
		Although the JVP rebellion was suppressed, the JVP established a permanent place in Sri Lankan politics as a voice of extreme Sinhalese chauvinism, along with the movement within the UNP associated with Cyril Mathew.

		Constituents with children at UVa, or those who hoped to send their children there, would complain bitterly at hikes in tuition and changes to admittance policies.
		UVa has responded to the state budget crisis by instituting a hiring freeze for faculty and staff, reducing the number of courses available, and granting no salary increases over the past two years.
		But acting on Knapp’s forecast, UVa moved quickly to trim expenses and spared itself many of the agonies the state is now enduring.

	Commonwealth Commonsense: UVa Hikes Grants to Lower Income Students
		Four stories appeared yesterday about UVa.’s plan to increase the amount of aid it offers to poorer students, although since one story suggests that families making up to $100,000 might qualify you’ve got to question my use of the term “poorer.” Three of the stories are here, here, and here.
		A side effect, UVa officials have said, would be an expected 8 percent to 10 percent annual rise in tuition for the next five years.
		UVa President John T. Casteen III said he didn't know what impact the aid plan's expansion would have on state legislators, who "have not been involved in financial aid matters for some time now.

	SouthoftheJames.com: Separate but Equal at UVA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For this current generation of students which, unlike previous generations, lives with no a grand sense of social purpose or civic consciousness, the university should be the place where students, regardless of personal history or background, are shaken out of their comfort zones.
		While current white students played no part in the UVA's past racial problems, they are not absolved of their obligation to be mindful of that history so that they do not perpetuate inequality.
		If UVA is to make strides in alleviating the tension on grounds, the new diversity and equity regime must respect the heritage of the fl slave descendant from Farmville, the great-great-grandchild of a Scotch-Irish Confederate officer from Abingdon, the Fairfax-born son of an IT entrepreneur from New Delhi, and the Italian-American girl from the Bronx.

		This concession by the administration contributed to the peacefulness of student activism at UVA in the mid-sixties.
		Although there were 3, 868 undergraduate students at UVa in 196492, according to Thomas Gardner, there were eight fl undergraduates.93 With no significant interaction with their fl peers, many students were unable to break from the segregationist views ingrained in them since childhood.

	Bacon's Rebellion: A Blank Check for Education -- Mo' Money!
		As for the colleges in Virginia, UVA and W&M have specific histories of just simply being wrong on race, and it's only been 35 years or so since Black students were welcomed onto their campuses.
		Having gone to, George Mason, the one public university in VA that is known for being both institutionally pro-diversity and anti-affirmative action (in terms of equal admisssions standards and treatment of all students), I have seen a higher-ed model for diversity that is not a matter of pushing race in anyone's face all the time.
		I mostly agree with you, but UVA did not even admit women til 1970, so regardless of her race, she would not have been admitted to UVA in the 1960s because she was a woman, her race would have been moot.

	"Kataragama" Impression of Dr John Davy 1819
		We found shelter in some huts on a rising ground where, during the rebellion, an attempt was made to establish a post, which the extreme unhealthiness of the place rendered abortive.
		On the left of the door there is a small foot-bath and basin, in which the officiating priest washes his feet and hands before he enters the sanctum.
		Though the idol was still in the jungle where it had been removed during the rebellion, the inner room appropriated to it was as jealously guarded as before; and as we could not enter it without giving offence, we did not make the attempt.

		The once-fertile province of Uva never recovered from the massive depredations of the attackers.

		In their efforts to explain the proposal, U.Va. officials have pointed to the state’s 1996 grant of “codified autonomy” to the Medical Center as an example of the benefits that greater flexibility can provide.
		Consider the case of two hypothetical nurses in 1997, one in the U.Va. Medical Center and one in a state agency, both of whom earned $36,370 — then the midpoint in the salary range for a Clinical Nurse II.
		According to figures compiled by the Medical Center, the U.Va. nurse — with an outstanding performance record — would now be earning $54, 257, a 40 percent increase, while the state nurse would be making $43,209, an 18 percent increase.

	UVa Under Siege -- from Within
		UVa is not a racist institution in the traditional sense, nor does it harbor any Bull Connor/Lester Maddox-style race baiters.
		Out of 1,700 fl students at UVa in a student body of 19,600, out of the countless thousands of interactions between whites and fls every day, those are the "unprecedented racial terrorism acts" reported to the university police.
		While it may be too much to ask Casteen, as isolated as he is in his ivory tower, to mend his ways, it is not too much to ask of the university's trustees, who presumably are tethered to the real world, to hold him accountable for what he does.

		The new rulers are unable to come to any conclusion on the exact situation of Uva before the rebellion as there is no trace of evidence left behind to come to such conclusions.
		The areas of Uva Wellassa, Nuwarakalaviya were neglected jungle areas which had a predominant population of Muslims who disrupted time and again the smooth supply of salt and dry fish to the people in the Kandyan Kingdom.
		The people of Uva were so provoked with this incident that they caught Hadji and produced him before Duraisamy who after trial sentenced him to be beheaded.

	Commonwealth Commonsense: Gov and Charter Schools (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Many parents of young children are surprised to learn that their often very bright kids can’t get into UVA, Tech or W&M. The demand is so great that only the top handful of students in even the best high schools can gain entrance.
		There is absolutely no reason why UVA and William and Mary could not have a completely full enrollment with tuition at the level of University of Richmond or Duke -- total costs around $40K a year.
		I think beyond the charter plan, the higher ed issue is one that could have a lot of traction this November in the areas where, shall we say, there is a competitive zeal among students and their parents.

		UVA, after the latest in a series of state funding cuts, now receives just 9% of it's annual budget funding from the state.
		And since UVA is by far the worst-funded of the state schools, I tend to assume that other state politicians feel pretty much the same way.
		I did a rudimentary net present value analysis, and assuming, per year, a 1.5% growth in the UVA budget and a 4.5% interest rate, total savings to the state over the next 30 years are $2.63 billion.

		Reports reached the authorities that one Duraisamy,a relative of the deposed king and claiming his rights to the throne is mustering the support of the people in Uva for a rebellion and that some Sinhalese leaders too joined him.
		The situation prevailing in Uva and Wellassa was so precarious that the English set fire to villages, houses, livestock and whatever they could burn.
		With this high connections through out the Kandyan Kingdom and the inherent warrior qualities the Britishers thought that he will be the most suitable person to quell the rebellion and help them to establish their writ of government.

	The Declaration Online
		The "heroin-chic" photos were inspired by the real-life subjects of the photojournalism of Larry Clark in the 1960s and Nan Goldin in the 1970s–images that could be considered deterrents, since they eloquently showed the seedy desperation of addicts.
		This supposed rebellion and attempt at the redefinition of what is seen as seductive and beautiful was not just Oscar Wilde’s vision of "art for art’s sake." Such purportedly subversive photographs were principally commissioned because they helped sell clothes to young people longing to fit in.
		In this case, the weakness working to their benefit is that this urge to be unique has ultimately propelled many to constantly consume in an effort to be the first to own a certain new obscure record or preview the latest independent film.
