Four universities will have strong influences on Vietnamese universities and meet Vietnam's education needs.

Williams said he was told, "We don't think that you and the university can meet as one."

Recognition will be determined by how well the college or university meets 17 standards.

When a university in the programme cannot meet these standards, funding from other universities in the scheme would be used to subsidise improvements.

Students were demanding such things as all black faculty being immediately tenured, which is not a demand that a university can meet.

Yet the university has met remarkable resistance.

With over 1500 campus collection sites, the university is meeting both its own and the state's goals on waste management and sustainability.

Each year when the universities meet to play, the game is coined "Border War."

Like the previous two years, no universities met their arch-rival in this year's tournament.

After those first steps, 57 European universities met in Santiago 2-4 September 1993.
