Life brings things like illnesses, religious events and family emergencies — all of which seem like reasonable excuses to occasionally miss a class. Yet, here at the University, professors have license to enforce 100 percent attendance policies, meaning if students miss a single class, their grade may be jeopardized. While absences for religious holidays and illnesses are traditionally accommodated by professors, there is no institutional guarantee for accommodation. Because mandatory attendance policies harm student health and learning, the University has a responsibility to reform their attendance policies to encourage greater flexibility and promote student learning.

Entering off the back of a 15-14 loss to No. 7 Syracuse March 23, the Cavaliers (9-3, 3-3 ACC) couldn’t find their rhythm against the Blue Devils (8-5, 3-3 ACC) either — the final score was 15-10 in favor of Duke, marking the team’s first loss to an unranked opponent this season.

Education reform is a hot button topic in legislative bodies across the country, but it is often discussed without any commitment to tangible change. Due to this lack of legislative action, reform occasionally sprouts from the courts instead of legislatures. Such an instance is currently underway as a lawsuit against elite institutions across the country alleges that many universities have been abusing a legal exception in order to avoid paying out as much financial aid as they should. As the guarantee of need-blind admissions across the country is being cast into doubt, it has become necessary to examine our own financial aid system at the University. Even though the University is not targeted by the lawsuit, the implications and revelations of the lawsuit should inspire greater transparency at the University in order to ensure that financial aid is properly and equitably distributed.

Perfectionism is overrated. But the average college student disagrees — and it is clear why. Acknowledging failure is not easy, especially in college. In fact, many people view failure as a threat to their self-worth. As students, we must continue to normalize failure throughout our college journey in order to defeat the unrealistic, harmful expectations that come with perfectionism. In order to create a more supportive learning environment, the University must reframe failure as a learning opportunity by creating academic resources to help students manage their expectations.

For better or for worse, we’ve finally reached April — just over a month left of school. As the academic year winds down, the workload is increasingly revving up ahead of finals. Juggling extracurriculars, classes and self-care is much more difficult than it was in early March, with calendars overflowing with to-dos and “absolutely don’t-forgets.” It may not feel like it now, but we will conquer the rest of this semester, one day at a time. Here are a few ways to help get through these last few weeks of the academic year.

Last weekend, I was paired with my big, Ella, within my sorority. She raved to me about Oakhart Social and suggested that we go there for a family-style dinner with another big-little pair. Ella had been to the restaurant before and described it to me as American cuisine with a twist and was particularly fond of its shareable menu items and rustic ambiance. Comparable to tapas, Oakhart Social’s small plates are almost all priced under $30, which enables diners to taste-test numerous items.

Things looked frequently frustrating and gloomy for No. 2 Virginia (9-1, 0-0 ACC) Saturday, as if the northeastern chill had frozen its typically free-flowing style. But after sputtering offensively all day, the Cavaliers scored the game’s final seven goals, all in the fourth quarter, to win. Before a record crowd at Jordan Field, Virginia dispelled defeat and charged back to grab a 13-10 victory over No. 16 Harvard (6-3, 0-2 Ivy). The win came on the back of a stellar performance by junior goalie Matt Nunes, who recorded multiple impressive saves and even registered the game-winning goal in the fourth quarter.
