Institut polytechnique et université d'État de Virginie

L'Institut polytechnique et université d'État de Virginie (en anglais : Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University), plus connue sous le nom de Virginia Tech, est une université publique américaine située à Blacksburg dans l'État de Virginie. Son campus est situé à l'extrême Sud-Ouest de l'État de Virginie entre les montagnes Blue Ridge de la chaîne des Appalaches. Bien que généraliste et possédant de nombreuses facultés, cette université est particulièrement réputée pour ses départements d'agriculture, d'ingénierie, d'architecture, d'administration publique, de sylviculture, et de médecine vétérinaire. C'est aussi l'une des seules universités du pays possédant un « corps de cadets » (une école militaire). Virginia Tech est particulièrement connue pour ses programmes d'enseignement et de recherche et son équipe de football américain les Hokies de Virginia Tech. En 2004 et 2005, The Times a classé Virginia Tech parmi les 200 meilleures universités du monde. Il a accueilli les dindes graciées (en) par le président Donald Trump à l'occasion du Thanksgiving en 2016, 2017 et 2018. Recherche informatique En 2003, Virginia Tech a créé un superordinateur qui fut classé le troisième ordinateur le plus rapide du monde. Le système, composé de mille cent processeurs, coûta 5,2 millions de dollars. Il a été démonté peu après avoir réalisé cette performance et remplacé par des serveurs Apple qui consomment moins d'énergie et moins d'espace. La recherche sur le réseau Internet fait partie intégrante de l'histoire de Virginia Tech. Cette université a participé au développement des réseaux Suranet, Internet2, Abilene Network, le Lambda rail network et d'autres réseaux similaires. Virginia Tech a aussi participé au Net.Work.Virginia et au Mid Atlantic Crossroads. Personnalités liées à l'Institut Professeurs Alex Dickow Nikki Giovanni Elaine Bennett Étudiants Musiciens célèbres Charlie Byrd, guitariste de jazz américain Membres fondateurs du groupe de ska-rock Fighting Gravity Fusillade du 16 avril 2007 L'université est aussi tristement célèbre pour avoir été le siège de l'une des plus grandes tueries en milieu scolaire de l'histoire américaine, avec 33 morts, le 16 avril 2007. Virginia Tech était une « zone sans armes » et interdisait même aux étudiants avec un port d'armes d'apporter les leurs sur le campus. En 2006, l'université expédia devant le conseil de discipline un étudiant qui en transportait une sur le campus, bien qu'il ait eu un permis en bonne et due forme. Le 4 août 2011, une personne armée est signalée sur le campus de Virginia Tech, sans qu'aucune personne ne soit blessée ou tuée. Le 8 décembre 2011, une fusillade fait deux morts dont 1 policier.

La Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, meglio nota come Virginia Tech, è un'importante università di Blacksburg, Virginia, negli Stati Uniti d'America.

Il 16 aprile 2007 il campus dell'ateneo è stato teatro del cosiddetto "Massacro del Virginia Tech". Tale episodio - il secondo per gravità in fatto di massacri scolastici nella storia degli USA dopo il massacro della Bath School - è costato la vita a trentadue persone (escluso l'omicida), mentre altre ventinove hanno riportato ferite di diversa entità.

Liberty Christian Academy

Die Liberty Christian Academy (LCA, gegründet als Lynchburg Christian Academy) ist eine private christliche Schule in Lynchburg im US-Bundesstaat Virginia. Die Schule wurde im Jahr 1967 von dem Baptistenprediger Jerry Falwell als ein Projekt der Thomas Road Baptist Church und als eine Segregationsakademie gegründet. Sie ist vom Commonwealth of Virginia durch das Virginia State Board of Education, die Southern Association of Colleges and Schools und die Association of Christian Schools International als Bildungseinrichtung anerkannt. Die Akademie deckt die Zeit von der Vorschule bis zur Klasse 12 ab. Geschichte Während der 1950er und 1960er Jahre äußerte sich Falwell und setzte sich gegen den Führer der Bürgerrechtsbewegung Martin Luther King Jr. und die Aufhebung der Segregation öffentlicher Schulsysteme durch die US-Regierung ein. Im Jahr 1966 führte er die Bemühungen an, eine „Privatschule für weiße Schüler zu gründen“, berichtete die Lynchburg News. Unter dem Namen Lynchburg Christian Academy wurde die Schule 1967 als Segregationsschule eröffnet. Falwell entwickelte sie als ein Projekt seiner Thomas Road Baptist Church. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen segregierten Akademien, wurde die Schule zwei Jahre nach ihrer Eröffnung vollständig ethnisch getrennt. Der Historiker Seth Dowland sagte, dass Schulbeamte später versuchten, die Schule an Eltern zu vermarkten, die nicht allein durch den Wunsch motiviert waren, ihre Kinder von den rassisch integrierten öffentlichen Schulen fernzuhalten. Im Jahr 1975 versuchte die Ford-Administration, den Segregations-Akademien ihre Steuerbefreiung zu verweigern, mit der Begründung, dass sie die Segregation aufrechterhielten. Im Jahr 1979 prangerte Falwell diese „Intervention gegen christliche Schulen“ an, die nun eine Politik der Carter-Administration war. Er gründete das politische Aktionskomitee Moral Majority, um den öffentlichen Protest der Katholiken gegen die legale Abtreibung in den Vereinigten Staaten zu unterstützen, so der Mitbegründer der Heritage Foundation, Paul Weyrich. Im Jahr 2005 wurde die Lynchburg Christian Academy neben die Liberty University verlegt und in Liberty Christian Academy umbenannt. Sportliche Erfolge Das Footballteam der Liberty Christian Academy hat zwischen 2004, als Frank Rocco Cheftrainer wurde, und 2013 eine Bilanz von 85:6, vier Landesmeisterschaften und acht Konferenzmeisterschaften gewonnen. Zu den ehemaligen Mitgliedern des Teams gehören Rashad Jennings (Pittsburgh-Liberty-Jacksonville Jaguars) und Bobby Massie (Ole Miss-Arizona Cardinals-Chicago Bears).

Liberty Christian Academy

Liberty Christian Academy (LCA, founded as Lynchburg Christian Academy) is a private Christian school in Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. Founded in 1967 by Baptist preacher Jerry Falwell Sr. as a ministry of Thomas Road Baptist Church and a segregation academy, the school is recognized as an educational facility by the Commonwealth of Virginia through the Virginia State Board of Education, Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and the Association of Christian Schools International. The academy consists of pre–K through grade 12. History During the 1950s and 1960s, Falwell spoke and campaigned against civil rights movement leader Martin Luther King Jr. and the desegregation of public school systems by the U.S. federal government. In 1966, he led the effort to create "a private school for white students," the Lynchburg News reported. Named Lynchburg Christian Academy, the school opened in 1967 as a segregation academy. Falwell developed it as a ministry of his Thomas Road Baptist Church. Unlike many other segregation academies, the school became racially integrated two years after its opening. Historian Seth Dowland said that school officials later sought to market the school to parents who were not solely motivated by a desire to keep their children out of racially integrated public schools. In 1975, the Ford administration began trying to deny segregation academies their tax-exempt status on the basis that they perpetuated segregation. In 1979, Falwell denounced this "intervention against Christian schools", which had become a policy of the Carter administration. In 2005, the Lynchburg Christian Academy was moved next to Liberty University and renamed Liberty Christian Academy. Athletics The LCA football team compiled an 85–6 record, winning four state championships and eight conference championships, between 2004, when Frank Rocco become the head coach, and 2013. Among the team's former members are Rashad Jennings and Bobby Massie. Notable alumni Jerry Falwell Jr. (class of 1980), president of Liberty University Bob Good (class of 1983), politician Rashad Jennings (class of 2005), NFL player Jelena Antić (class of 2009), professional basketball player and coach Bobby Massie (class of 2009), NFL player Elijah Benton (class of 2014), NFL player Michael Strachan (class of 2016), NFL player Gideon Davidson (class of 2025), college football running back for the Clemson Tigers References External links Liberty Christian Academy
