to appoint & remove professors, two thirds of the whole number of visitors voting for the removal
In the current UVA policy directory, reasons for termination of a professor include a variety of reasons, one of which I was particularly interested: "unacceptable performance after due notice". This statement in the Rockfish Gap Report reminds me of course evaluations that we have been filling out at the end of the semester. I wonder if these are weighed to see if two-thirds of students disprove of a particular professor. If they do not perform their duties properly, why should they continue to teach? UVA has always wanted the best for their students. http://uvapolicy.virginia.edu/policy/prov-014

We are further of opinion that, after declaring by law that certain sciences shall be taught in the university, fixing the number of professors they require, which we think should at present, be ten
It amazes me to think that when this university began, it was fixed at only ten professors. Now, we have grown to the #3 public university in the country, with over 16,000 faculty and staff. Part of me wonders if Thomas Jefferson had envisioned this university to grow to where it is today. This document had great intentions for the university, but it seems like it exceeded expectations. http://www.virginia.edu/facts
