— Susan SvrlugaThe Compelling Case for U-Va.’s Strategic FundThe University of Virginia’s Strategic Investment Fund is anything but a “slush fund,” as it recently has been mischaracterized. This is the spirit behind the Strategic Investment Fund. In fact, making decisions in the best interests of future generations is a hallmark of how U-Va. has been historically managed. Money magazine determined that U-Va. has the lowest average yearly cost of attendance of any institution ranked in its Top 100. Since its founding, U-Va. has given back, producing citizen leaders who contribute as elected representatives, scientists, doctors, engineers, educators and much more.
