The University announced changes to the existing policy for fans allowed on the Hill at Scott Stadium in a statement Wednesday. The new policies, which will take effect at the football game against Boston College Saturday, now exclude the use of stickers which were briefly required to indicate Hill eligibility and enforce crowd capacity. Instead, access to the Hill will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis for eligible fans until the space reaches capacity, and re-entry to the Hill will not be guaranteed.

Latasha Lattimore puts the ball in her right hand, attacks the baseline from the corner, plants her feet in front of the basket and jumps for a layup. She has done this thousands of times in her career. But this time, in the second quarter of a December 2022 game between Miami and Michigan, is tragically different.

Less than two months after the University restricted access to the Hill in an unprecedented fashion, Virginia Athletics announced Wednesday updated policies for the grassy area on the north end of Scott Stadium. The changes were made in response to high levels of student dissatisfaction following the first two home games. While some updates represent laudable improvements, ultimately, most of the “updates” hardly fit the bill and others are going to present yet more problems.

Last weekend was rather uneventful for Virginia football, who enjoyed a well-deserved bye week following a 3-1 start to the 2024 season. The next few days figure to have the Cavaliers — and all of Grounds — a little bit busier, though, as the team prepares to host Boston College Saturday amidst Homecomings Weekend.

After a brief home interlude in which Virginia women’s golf secured a strong second-place finish at the Cavalier Regional Preview, the team hit the road this week for the Windy City Collegiate Classic. The tournament was played in Wilmette, Ill. and featured 15 teams for three rounds of golf Monday and Tuesday. Virginia placed seventh following a difficult end to the event.

The Honor Committee met Sunday to discuss concerns regarding case processing over summer and winter breaks. Though the conversation was ultimately inconclusive, the Committee discussed how to balance its reduced capacity over school breaks with the fact that accused students might want their hearings to take place sooner, particularly while witnesses still have a strong memory of the case.

The housing search for the 2025-26 school year has kicked off, with many students already in the midst of signing leases for next year.

Student self-governance is undoubtedly making a comeback. While this editorial board previously raised concerns over the efficacy of student self-governance at the University, student leaders have recently addressed many long standing issues that plagued student self-governance organizations. The University Judiciary Committee has dramatically cut its case processing time. The Student Council passed a more fiscally responsible budget for the 2024-25 academic year. And the Honor Committee is fleshing out the multi-sanction system that we, as self-governing students, voted in. These recent steps underscore admirable work on the part of many leaders within our community. And they also highlight a broadly commendable recognition of the transformative power that can be wielded by traditional institutions of student self-governance.

Saturday Night Live has served as a cultural phenomenon for nearly five decades now, delivering sharp satirical commentary on current events in politics and pop culture in the form of live comedy sketches. In recent years, however, the show has been met with criticism for its lack of quality comedians, subpar writing and limited appeal to younger audiences. Despite these concerns, Saturday’s season premiere demonstrated promise of a brighter future ahead for the television series.

Singer and rapper Tommy Richman returns to musical eminence with the release of his debut album, “COYOTE,” Sept. 27, certifying his place among the music industry’s A-tier. Distributed by Brent Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy label, “COYOTE” immediately topped Apple Music’s R&B charts, cementing Richman’s prominence — which had come into question after the online success of two of his singles over the summer.

We have officially reached the point of the semester where class attendance is becoming sparser, and late arrivals are more frequent. The cause of the uptick in latecomers may be in question, but I can think up many possible reasons for entering a lecture hall 10 minutes late. Here are some oh-so-convincing excuses for you to use if you find yourself on a late streak.

The ACC is not what it used to be — in fact, it is much better. Adding Stanford and California to a conference already stacked with athletic powerhouses has turned the ACC into a dominant collection of schools across a variety of sports. But in a conference rife with athletic stalwarts and historical giants, who reigns supreme? When weighing the in-conference success of all sports on the national stage, the answer is easily Virginia.

Six Cavaliers traveled south to compete, and while many made it through qualifying, few were able to make a dent in the main draw against such fierce competition.

Once again, Gov. Glenn Youngkin has tried to change the Virginia public school system, but as is the case with every new Marvel movie, the disappointingly simple plot reveals itself instantly. The beginnings of this plot came about via a new school rating system, “School Performance and Support Framework,” with the goal of refining specific per-school data. It has been approved by Virginia’s Board of Education but still requires approval from the U.S. Department of Education. The new system advocates a more accurate way of rating Virginia’s primary and secondary schools in an attempt to find more explicit data on which schools need more help than others. In reality, this change is a blatant way to identify struggling schools to parents and legislators, allowing both groups to avoid them like the plague.
