Head of Major University Group Weighs in on U-Va.

Here’s the cool thing about covering higher ed from the nation’s capital: University leaders from around the country converge here to plan strategy and talk with lawmakers and federal officials. And often they drop by The Post. On Tuesday, we had a delegation from the Association of American Universities, which is an invitation-only group of 61 top research institutions. They were: Gene D. Block, chancellor of UCLA; Ronald J. Daniels, president of Johns Hopkins University; Mary Sue Coleman, president of the University of Michigan; Scott S. Cowen, president of Tulane University; and Hunter R. Rawlings III, president of AAU.
