‘We like it that U.S. News continues to rank UVa among the nation’s best,’ said UVa President John T. Casteen III in a statement. ‘Obviously, the ranking helps attract qualified students and underscores the quality of work done by faculty and staff members.’ … Harvard University remained the rankings’ No. 1 overall university, tied with Princeton, while the University of California, Berkeley retained its rank as the No. 1 public university spot.”
