On 19 March 2007, Davidson College announced that all students would have their demonstrated financial need met by grants and student employment; loans would no longer be a component of any Davidson financial aid package. Davidson became the first liberal arts college in the country to do so. On 7 June 2007, the Duke Endowment pledged $15,000,000 to support the initiative.
On June 8, 2006, President Bobby Vagt announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2006-2007 academic year and asked the Board of Trustees to form a search committee to seek his successor. The search concluded with the announcement on March 28, 2007 that Thomas W. Ross, a 1972 Davidson graduate and former state superior court judge, would become the seventeenth president of the College.
In early 2005, the College's Board of Trustees voted in a 31-5 decision to allow 20% of the board to be non-Christian. John Belk, the former mayor of Charlotte and one of the heirs of Belk Department Store, was a casualty of this decision, resigning in protest after more than six decades of affiliation with the college. Stephen Smith also resigned. Belk, however, continued his strong relationship with his alma mater and was honored in March 2006 at the Tenth Anniversary Celebration of the Belk Scholarship.

Davidson College Basketball 2007-2008 Preview

Davidson's basketball team first reached considerable success in the 1960s under Coach Lefty Driesell, when Sports Illustrated ranked it No. 1 in the country prior to the 1964-65 season.
The Wildcat men have competed in 10 NCAA tournaments (1966, 1968-70, 1986, 1998, 2002, 2006-08). Their last tournament victory was in 2008 over University of Wisconsin in the Sweet 16 of the 2008 NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats moved on to the Elite Eight where they lost to the Kansas Jayhawks 59-57.
Under the guidance of Coach Bob McKillop, the Wildcats consistently posted winning seasons. In 2006-07, they completed the regular-season conference schedule with only one loss and entered the conference tournament as a No. 1 seed, earning a first-round bye. On March 3, 2007, the Wildcats beat College of Charleston in the finals of the Southern Conference Tournament to become conference tournament champions for the second consecutive season. The championship won the school an automatic bid to the 2007 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament, where the Wildcats lost in the first round to Maryland, 82-70.
In 2005-06, the Wildcats went 20-10 and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament after winning the Southern Conference Tournament in Charleston, South Carolina.

In addition to Driesell and McKillop, a number of notable NCAA men's basketball head coaches have coached at Davidson. Matt Doherty, current head coach at SMU and former head coach of Notre Dame, North Carolina and Florida Atlantic, experienced his first coaching job as an assistant under McKillop, who, not coincidentally, was Doherty's high school coach on Long Island. Former Virginia head coach and current East Carolina athletic director Terry Holland is a Davidson graduate (Class of 1964) and was Driesell's first recruit at Davidson, before advancing to assistant coaching, head coaching and athletic director duties at Davidson. Larry Brown, who would go on to win an NCAA championship with Kansas in 1988 and NBA championship with Detroit in 2004, began his nomadic head coaching career at Davidson, managing to depart before the start of his first season. Jim Larranaga, who took George Mason to the 2006 Final Four is a former Davidson assistant coach.
