It has been over a year since the melting of Charlottesville’s statue of Robert E. Lee which was the impetus for the 2017 Unite the Right rally. Ultimately, the statue was melted down and is being repurposed into more inclusive art. Beyond the role it played in the city’s recent history, the statue’s removal and future re-creation are just the latest action in a trend of communities reckoning with their history, often by renaming buildings or removing statues of problematic figures. This trend is particularly prevalent on college campuses, the University included. More recent in our minds is the renaming of Alderman library to Shannon Library, deplatforming a man who dedicated his career to studying and advocating eugenics. Despite these positive steps, much work remains to be done. Yet, the advocacy and action toward such change seems to have stagnated — and the result is a series of uncomfortable, dissonant half measures.

While Virginia was able to come away with an upset road win last weekend, it held no such luck this week as the Cavaliers (5-5, 3-3 ACC) were routed 35-14 against the Fighting Irish (9-1) Saturday.

1950sNovember 24, 1954“Writer Reviews College Student’s Military Service Problem”By Frank BrandtAfter 1952, all men who were drafted or enlisted in the military had to complete a total of eight years of service. While many students at the time did not take this possible obligation seriously, joining a Reserve unit while still in school was a practical way to fulfill part of the requirement early.

He wanted to see what Wright, the former Villanova coach who retired suddenly in 2022, had to say about whether it was worth it to continue coaching in the modern era of college basketball, one inextricably linked with Name, Image and Likeness.

Since squash became a varsity sport in 2017, the Cavaliers have been a force to be reckoned with on the college circuit — both the men’s team and women’s team are ranked sixth in this year’s preseason poll.
