Charlottesville City Council discussed a measure that would implement ranked choice voting for the June 25, 2025 Council primary at its Aug. 19 meeting. Charlottesville community members who came to speak at the meeting voiced their support for the measure, with many urging the Council to adopt the ordinance at its next scheduled meeting Sept. 3.
The University Guide Service announced Wednesday in a statement on Instagram that the University has suspended them from conducting both admissions and historical tours, citing concerns from the University over tour attendance and tour quality. According to the statement, the Guide Service will continue to work with the University to develop an agreement that would allow for future Guide Service-led tours, and the group will continue their recruitment operations for the semester.
We should all be able to agree that the end of the spring semester was far from ideal, perhaps even dystopian — administrators decided to violently clear a peaceful encampment and were directly responsible for the chaos which ensued. The University itself has acknowledged that the riot police, pepper spray and arrests were not the outcome they desired. And yet, given the recent notice which University administrators sent to students surrounding demonstrations and access to public space, we are left to wonder whether administrators actually regret the outcome. In fact, their policy changes suggest just the opposite. They have codified a series of regulations which not only operate as ex post facto justifications for their actions, but also set the University up to repeat the exact mistakes which they made on May 4, mistakes which endangered both student safety and the right to protest.
A summer internship can look like a traditional office job — cubicles, business dress and coffee runs. But for University students concentrating in the arts, a summer internship could look like operating a giant puppet, cutting a roll of 70mm film or photographing an Olympian. Hailing from a variety of disciplines — studio art, music, theater, arts administration and film — this small but driven group of University students are charting their own professional paths in creative industries, returning to Grounds equipped with invaluable experience, skills and connections in their chosen creative fields.
Love it or hate it, dorm life is an essential part of the first-year student experience at the University. As a newly-christened second-year student, I find myself reflecting on the ups and downs of dorm living, from forging friendships in my Gooch suite to visiting icky bathroom stalls in Bonnycastle. Here are some reasons why I am both sad and relieved to now be finished with my time in the dorms.
Nearly four months after Virginia State Police cleared a pro-Palestine encampment on Grounds, University administrators have revised several policies that place restrictions on protests at the University and make it easier for them to disperse protests on Grounds. The University announced the new policies Monday morning in a U.Va. Today article, followed by an email from Kenyon Bonner, vice president and chief student affairs officer, to students reiterating the changes.
For some students, experiencing the University once is simply not enough. After walking the Lawn in May, some Class of 2024 alumni have already returned to Grounds for postgraduate studies. Though these soon-to-be “Double Hoos” will attend graduate school at the University, their nickname represents something more than the pursuit of two University degrees. As future Double Hoos, these students build on a foundation they laid as undergraduates, expanding their communities, memories and connections at the University.
The New York Atlas have, in their fledgling Premier Lacrosse League existence, accumulated a couple nicknames. The first and most ubiquitous, “the Bulls,” traces back to the franchise’s inception, referencing the large, cuddly-looking bovine whose flaring cartoon nostrils dominate the team’s logo. But now there is a second set of nicknames, a pair of monikers born just moments apart — “Virginia Atlas” and “New York Cavaliers.”
You could still see the tracks in the grass from the communal knee slide. They remained there, visible and unfading, after the goal and into halftime, until the second half’s frenzy eventually erased them. But No. 13 Virginia will see those tracks in their minds for a lot longer, after the goal that provoked the knee slides proved the decider Sunday in a tense 1-0 loss to Colgate at Klöckner Stadium.
Virginia women’s soccer never looked back in a convincing win Sunday at a beautifully sunny Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers (4-0, 0-0 ACC) had five different goalscorers in a 5-0 crushing of Utah Valley (2-1-1, 0-0 WAC).
When I arrived in Valencia, Spain this May to study abroad, I quickly realized that the region boasts some of the greatest oranges on Earth. Truly. The warm, dry climate and its proximity to the Mediterranean coast make Valencia a perfect locale to grow orange trees. It’s no wonder, then, that the orange juice I drank there was the best I’ve ever had. It was so delicious that I can confidently say it was life-changing — but not for the reason you might think.
In its first meeting of the semester, the University's Faculty Senate hosted Ian Baucom, executive vice president and provost, for a discussion about academic freedom at the University, including what free speech protections faculty have as both private citizens and University employees. Baucom also stated that the right to free expression as private individuals can mutually exist with the University faculty’s commitment to academic freedom, and that in the classroom professors should encourage free discussion, inquiry and expression.
As incoming first year students and their families began moving into residences across Grounds, the Board of Visitors held a special meeting Aug. 22 that ran over an hour past its planned time. There was only one action item on the Board’s agenda — endorsing the recommendations provided by the Task Force on Religious Diversity and Belonging, which quietly released its report online about halfway through the meeting, after delivering its recommendations to the University in the past month.
Thousands of students have recently descended upon Charlottesville, eager to pursue all the fresh starts a new school year promises. And for those already hard at work on their fall semester playlists, new music listening club Hoos Listening offers surefire opportunities to make new friends and explore musical interests in a low pressure environment.
The University’s bluegrass club, aptly named Hoograss, is a new music organization on Grounds that is rambling into its second year. Here, bluegrass, country and blues fans come together to jam, perform and participate in events throughout the semester geared toward a traditional style of music with which University students might not be familiar.
Since the Commonwealth Clash was inaugurated in 2014, the rivalry between Virginia and Virginia Tech has only grown stronger. The two schools go head-to-head in 22 sports annually, and the games between the Cavaliers and the Hokies always have an extra charge. While the more than century-long feud has made it rare to see a student-athlete transfer between the in-state foes, senior Elayna Duprey took the leap last winter.
Coming off of their road to semifinals in 2023, Virginia field hockey aims to continue dominating offensively in 2024. With a 14-7 record last year, the Cavaliers were able to hold off powerful teams like Penn State while even coming out on top against national champion North Carolina on their senior day. The team hopes to bring that same fire to their 2024 season, hopefully advancing even further into the NCAA championship.
Virginia women’s soccer left their first ranked matchup on a high note Thursday, as the Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) came from behind to defeat Penn State (1-1, 0-0 Big Ten) in University Park by a final score of 2-1. Although Virginia started the contest slowly, they showed impressive determination in the second half to secure the win.
Grounds is flooded with students again, the Corner is alive once more and class is back in session for the fall semester. That means another season of Virginia football is on the horizon. The Cavaliers will start their season with a matchup against Richmond Saturday at Scott Stadium, where they will attempt to start off 1-0 for the fourth time in the last five seasons.
