GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY v (4323 words)
WILLIAMS, Senior Circuit Judge: This case is the most recent stage of a long-running land-use dispute between George Washington University ("GW" or "the university") and the District of Columbia's Board of Zoning Adjustment (the "Board" or the "BZA").

As universities are larger, make more intensive use of their land, and have greater spillover effects on neighboring communities than most other landowners, however, the District's legislative classifications meet this criterion.
