The University of Vermont (UVM),[a] officially titled as University of Vermont and State Agricultural College, is a public land-grant research university in Burlington, Vermont.[7] Founded in 1791, the university is the oldest in Vermont and the fifth-oldest in New England, making it among the oldest in the United States.[8]

UVM comprises ten colleges and schools, including the Robert Larner College of Medicine, and offers more than 100 undergraduate majors alongside a range of graduate and professional programs. Vermont's largest hospital complex, the University of Vermont Medical Center, has its primary facility on campus.

Known as one of the most sustainable campuses in the U.S, the university has pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030.[9][10] UVM is also recognized by a longstanding tradition of student-led activism,[11] playing a key role in movements for civil rights, environmental justice, and divestment from fossil fuels. It is classified among "R2: Doctoral Universities – High research activity".[12] In 2024, the university attracted $266 million in research and development funding.[13] It is one of the original eight Public Ivies.[14]

Athletically, UVM’s teams, known as the Catamounts, compete in NCAA Division I, primarily in the America East Conference and Hockey East Association. The university fields 18 varsity teams, and has a strong reputation in alpine skiing. UVM has produced numerous Olympians, as well as notable alumni in politics, along with being a producer of Fulbright Scholars,[15][16] Truman Scholars,[17] Goldwater Scholars,[17] and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

History

[edit]

The University of Vermont was founded as a private university in 1791, the same year Vermont became the fourteenth U.S. state. The university enrolled its first students ten years later. Its first president, Daniel C. Sanders, was hired in 1800, and served as the sole faculty member for seven years. Instruction began in 1801, and the first class graduated in 1804. In 1865, the university merged with Vermont Agricultural College (chartered November 22, 1864, after the passage of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act of 1862), emerging as the University of Vermont and State Agricultural College. The university was granted 150,000 acres, which it sold for $122,626.[18]

Old Mill, the oldest campus building

Much of the initial funding and planning for the university was undertaken by Ira Allen, who is honored as UVM's founder. Allen donated a 50-acre (20 ha) parcel of land for establishment of the university. Most of this land has been maintained as the university's main green, where stands a statue of Allen.[19]

The citizens of Burlington helped fund the university's first edifice. When it was destroyed by fire in 1824, they also paid for its replacement. This building came to be known as "Old Mill" for its resemblance to New England mills of the time. The Marquis de Lafayette, a French general who became a commander in the American Revolution, while in Vermont laid the cornerstone of Old Mill, which stands on University Row along with Ira Allen Chapel, Billings Library, Williams Hall, Royall Tyler Theatre, and Morrill Hall. A statue of Lafayette stands at the north end of the main green.[19]

UVM was the first American institution of higher education with a charter declaring that the "rules, regulations, and by-laws shall not tend to give preference to any religious sect or denomination whatsoever".[19]

In 1871, UVM defied custom and admitted two women as students. It was the first American university to admit women (1875) and African Americans (1877) into Phi Beta Kappa, the country's oldest collegiate academic honor society.[20]

Justin Smith Morrill, a U.S. Representative (1855–1867), and Senator (1867–1898) from Vermont, author of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act that created federal funding for establishing the U.S. land-grant colleges and universities, served as a trustee of the university from 1865 to 1898.

In 1924, UVM's WCAX, now called WVMT, sent out the first radio broadcast in Vermont. It was run by UVM students and faculty before being sold in 1931. WCAX is now the call sign of a commercial television station.[21] A new radio station was set up in 1955, dubbed WRUV. It currently runs a FM broadcast at 90.1 MHz and an internet stream at wruv.org. The station, run by students, faculty, and local community members, dubs itself Burlington's Better Alternative[22]. It is known for playing a wide range of music, boasting "the largest catalog in the State of Vermont" at over 50,000 albums.[22]

In the second half of the 20th century, UVM gained a reputation for its political activism, and struggles ensued on campus between student and faculty activists and the university administration. In 1953, the university's board of trustees ousted Alex B. Novikoff, a tenured professor and cell biologist in the College of Medicine, over his association with the Communist Party.[23][24]

Billings Memorial Library, built in 1883, was the university's library until 1961 when the larger Guy W. Bailey library was built. Since then, it has served miscellaneous purposes.

In March 1957, student protests against a motel owner who refused service to an African-American woman led the Vermont General Assembly to outlaw discrimination in public accommodations.[25] UVM held an annual "Kake Walk" where students wore blackface for 73 years, until the practice was abolished in 1969 under pressure from the student body and the community.[26][27]

In 1972 the board of trustees intervened again to deny tenure to Michael Parenti, a popular Marxist political science professor who drew ire from the authorities due to his participation in anti-war demonstrations. The board overrode the recommendation of the faculty, the deans' council and the administration. Parenti later brought a federal suit against the university, which was settled out of court for $15,000.[24]

In the 1980s, the university faced increasing pressure from the student body to divest from companies doing business in apartheid South Africa.[28] Student protests against investment in apartheid culminated in the construction of a "shantytown" on the green across from the Waterman building on October 12, 1985. On December 6, the board voted 12-7 to divest.[29]

UVM has undertaken several other divestment actions due to advocacy from student groups, including divestment from "Sudan-friendly" companies in 2006, during the Darfur genocide,[30] and divestment from cluster munitions and depleted uranium weapons in 2009, during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.[31][32] In 2013 and 2016, trustees rejected calls to divest from fossil fuels.[33][34]

On July 1, 2019, Suresh Garimella was appointed UVM's 27th president.[35] Under his tenure, the university faced record enrollment and a 50 percent increase in research funding to $250 million; however, he has been criticized for his public relations with students and faculty.[36] In 2021, the university administration imposed budget cuts that terminated three departments, 12 majors, 11 minors and four master’s degree programs in the College of Arts and Sciences.[37]

In 2020, under pressure from a student campaign, UVM trustees voted unanimously to divest from fossil fuels by July 2023.[34]

In 2022, the U.S. Department of Education opened an investigation into the university's response to antisemitism on campus based on a Title VI complaint filed by The Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law and Jewish on Campus.[38][39] The investigation concluded in April 2023, after the university and the Office of Civil Rights settled in a voluntary resolution. A press release from the Department of Education stated that the university failed to adequately respond to incidents.[40] University administrators denied the allegations, insisting that they responded appropriately.[41] The university agreed to adopt new practices around bias reporting, edit their discrimination and harassment policies, and provide extra training to staff and students,[42] but it did not adopt the demands of the complainant. The Department of Education did not make a finding of guilt or wrongdoing or create new federal policy in closing the investigation.[43]

In October 2023, UVM's Division of Safety and Compliance abruptly canceled a planned guest lecture by Palestinian author Mohammed El-Kurd, citing an inability to provide adequate "safety and security" for the event. An investigative report by Seven Days found no evidence of threats related to the event.[44]

The university's graduate students voted to unionize with the UAW in March 2024.[45] In April 2024, UVM's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine established a protest encampment on the Andrew Harris Commons, demanding transparency in the university's endowment and divestment from "all weapons manufacturers, Israeli companies, and companies involved in the occupation of historic Palestine.” They also demanded that the university cancel a planned commencement speech by Linda Thomas-Greenfield.[46]

Seal

[edit]

The university first adopted an official seal in 1807. The seal depicts the sun rising over the Green Mountains with the original college edifice, now the remodeled Old Mill. It includes a diagram of Euclid's "windmill proof" of the Pythagorean theorem, a globe, and a sextant. It includes the motto "Universitas V. Montis. A.D. 1791" in the outer ring "Collegiumque Agriculturae" in the inner one, noting the establishment of the College of Agriculture in 1865.[47]

Academics

[edit]

Offering over 100 undergraduate majors, the university comprises seven undergraduate colleges, an honors college, a graduate college, and a medical college.[48] The University of Vermont is accredited by the New England Commission of Higher Education.[49] Bachelors, masters, and doctoral programs are offered through the Robert Larner College of Medicine, the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Education and Social Services, the College of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, the Graduate College, the Grossman School of Business, and the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources.[50] The Patrick Leahy Honors College does not confer its own degrees; instead, students concurrently enroll in one of the university's seven undergraduate colleges.[51]

In 1995, the Environmental Council at UVM was established to fill a gap regarding a bridge between operations and academics on campus greening issues.[102] The council's first project was to hear presentations from the various environmental programs on campus to provide a baseline scan of campus operation environmental impact. Greening UVM was published in 1998 by the council to establish a baseline on the environmental impact of the campus' operations. During the same year, a recycled paper policy was created and was implemented in 1999.[103] As a community stakeholder in the Lab-XL project, the Environmental Council received an EPA grant to support the Tracking UVM project and publication to assess the relative environmental impact and community interest in laboratory chemical waste. Tracking UVM,[104] a follow-up to the Greening UVM report, was published in 2002 and reported on the environmental progress of the university from 1990 to 2000. The University of Vermont's commitment to tracking its environmental performance was recognized in 2004 with Vermont's Governor's Award for Environmental Excellence for this 2002 environmental report card. Tracking UVM is one of the first report cards that track the environmental impact of campus operations in an institution of higher education.

2000s

[edit]

In 2005, UVM's President Daniel M. Fogel signed the institution's Green Building Policy.[105][106] The recycled paper policy was updated in 2006 after two students pushed for the university to commit to purchasing 100% post-consumer, chlorine-free paper for routine copying and printing.[107]

In 2007, President Fogel signs on to the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment.[108] The American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC) is a high-visibility effort to address global climate disruption undertaken by a network of colleges and universities that have made institutional commitments to eliminate net greenhouse gas emissions from specified campus operations, and to promote the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the earth's climate. Its mission is to accelerate progress towards climate neutrality and sustainability by empowering the higher education sector to educate students, create solutions, and provide leadership by example for the rest of society.[109] In 2008, UVM dissolved the Environmental Council and established the Office of Sustainability.[110] The Office of Sustainability aims to foster sustainable development and promote environmental responsibility at the University of Vermont by strategically bridging the academic activities of teaching, research, and outreach with the operations of the university.[111] The sustainability office reports jointly to the Provost and to the Vice President for Finance & Administration, who supervises the director. There are two full-time staff and four Graduate Fellows, plus an Academic Advisor and a team of supporters.

2010s

[edit]

In 2011, UVM released its Climate Action Plan[112] to the American College & University President's Climate Commitment. The Climate Action Plan focuses on the direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions from the institution's operations. The target dates for UVM's Climate Action Plan were 2015 for 100% carbon neutral electricity (Scope 1)[113] and 2020 for carbon neutral heating, cooling, and fleet (Scope 2).[113] UVM aims to target the net zero emissions for its "Scope 3"[113] sources by 2025.

In 2012, UVM became one of the first institutions nationwide to end the sale of bottled water on campus and mandate that one third of drinks offered in vending machines be healthy options.[114] During the same year, UVM's Board of Trustees passed a resolution to earmark $13 million for the fund, making it the largest challenge to date. Harvard's $12 million green loan fund had been the largest.[115] In March 2012, UVM became fifth school in the nation to sign the "Real Food Campus Commitment",[116] pledging to purchase 20% "real food" by 2020. In April 2017, UVM announced it had surpassed this goal and set a new goal to source 25% "real food" by 2020.[117]

The Certification for Sustainable Transportation (CST) was founded in 2012 to help improve economic, environmental, and energy efficiency within the passenger transportation sector. The CST is a direct outgrowth of work that began at the University of Vermont in 2005 and now houses the eRating certification, driver trainings, and an array of awareness and education programs. It is a nonprofit operating out of UVM's Extensions office.[118]

In May 2015, UVM introduced a sustainability requirement for all undergraduates, allowing students to choose from pre-approved sustainability classes.[119]

Present

[edit]

In April 2023, the university committed to carbon neutrality by 2030.[10] It would pursue investments in renewable energy, electrified buildings and vehicles, reduced vehicle fleets, and geothermal exploration.[120]

Lawrence Debate Union

[edit]

The Lawrence Debate Union (LDU) has been UVM's official debate team since 1899.[121][122][non-primary source needed] Competing in British parliamentary debate, policy debate, and social justice-oriented debate, it is one of the oldest organizations on campus, receiving funding from a private grant established in 1899.[123][124] The LDU has sent students to international competitions, from Slovenia, Malaysia, and Thailand (2007) to Greece and South Africa.[125][non-primary source needed] The school has also sent students to the World Universities Debating Championship held in Ireland, Turkey, Botswana, Manila, Berlin, and Chennai, breaking into elimination rounds in the 2011 World University Debating Championship.[citation needed] Debaters from the LDU have also regularly competed in tournaments hosted by Oxford University and Cambridge University, and in 2013 won the title of the Budapest IV and Vienna IV in consecutive tournaments. Domestically, the LDU has also won the title of Northeast Universities Debating Sweepstakes champion for four consecutive years.[citation needed] The program is currently ranked seventh in the top schools for British Parliamentary debate in the world, and is the third-ranked American university on the list, behind only Yale and Cornell.[citation needed][needs update] It encourages participation of all interested UVM students, and sponsors public debates at UVM and for the Burlington community.[126][needs update] Alfred C. Snider, who coached the LDU for over thirty years, was one of the most decorated debate coaches in the world. He also coached the National Speech and Debate Organization's national high school debate team to compete in the world championships.[127]
