The University Judiciary Committee entered the world of new media Aug. 26, launching its own Youtube channel to better educate students about the organization's frequently misunderstood system. The channel is currently home to five videos that range in topics from "Filing a Complaint" to "Judge Information." Each video acts as an instructional video, in which either University students or UJC members learn the steps necessary to navigate through a certain area of UJC's Web site, co-Senior Data Manager Gavin Reddick said.

Several of the University's first black students in the 1950s and 1960s returned to Grounds Friday to speak about their past University experiences, the challenges they faced and the institutional changes they have seen since departing Charlottesville. "The Early Days Celebration" began with a discussion panel, titled "Looking Back, Moving Forward," which was held Friday. "Today we honor those who made it, who could get in, and who went on to do great things with their lives," said Maurice Apprey, dean of the Office of African-American Affairs, in his opening statement. Panelists included 1969 graduate David Temple, who was the first black student to integrate the fraternity system; John Merchant, the first black student to graduate from the Law school in 1958; and Dr. Vivian Pinn of the class of 1967, the first black woman to graduate from the medical school. The discussion featured accounts of racism that students had experienced during their time here.
The University Law School's entering class of 2012 is its most diverse class ever. In Jason Trujillo's first year as the Law School's senior assistant dean for admissions in financial aid, the Law School managed to improve both its academic profile and its diversity simultaneously by actively recruiting students who were offered admission to the University. "It's often hard to do many things well at once in admissions," Trujillo said.

Fourth-year College students Christi Thomas and Carl Thompson are starting a co-ed lesbian-, gay-, bisexual-, transgender-interest fraternity called Sigma Omicron Rho to allow the University's queer community to feel included in the Greek community, Thomas said. An excerpt from Sigma Omicron Rho's constitution states that the goals of the fraternity are "to increase the diversity of the Greek community through its promotion of queer pride, awareness and social activism." Vice President Molly Conger said that while there are organizations that advocate queer culture on Grounds, such as Queer and Allied Activism, these organizations tend to focus on political activism and less on "social activism." "We just feel like there's a niche within the University that we could fill," Conger said. Although there are national queer sororities and fraternities, Thomas said she felt that a single-gendered organization would not be able to fully encompass the character of the LGBT communities. "Intrinsically, the idea of being queer transcends gender," she said. Because of an exception in Title IX, the Inter-Fraternity Council and Inter-Sorority Council reserve the right to keep sororities and fraternities single-gendered, said Michael Citro, assistant dean of fraternity and sorority life. "Most co-ed groups are governed by the CIO [contracted independent organization] with the University, not an FOA [fraternal organization agreement]," Citro said. Thomas said she hopes that the organization will be a part of the Multicultural Greek Council. Along with providing a social community that members of the LGBT communities and its allies can enjoy, the fraternity plans to engage in philanthropic activities similar to many other Greek organizations, which Conger said Thomas is spearheading. Some of the social activities include a 5k race for marriage equality, a laser tag event in the Amphitheater with an LGBT-oriented educational component, barbecues, wine tastings and LBGT History Month. The interest group also plans to include "allied members" - heterosexual supporters of the queer community - in the fraternity, but Thomas warns that this fraternity is indeed a queer organization. "We don't plan to water anything down," she said, "so the allied members that do rush should be prepared for total immersion into queer culture." Even though Thomas' contacts in the LGBT communities are supportive of the group, they remain skeptical of mixing Greek life with queer life. "I'm expecting backlash," she said.
Thirty of the first black students to graduate from the University during the 1950s and 1960s will return to Grounds this weekend for events in their honor, said Marcus Martin, interim vice president and chief officer for diversity and equity. The Early Days Celebration will recognize these former students who desegregated the University and "opened new territory for future generations and with courage and dignity, set an example for others to follow," Martin said. Walter Ridley, who graduated from the Education School in 1953, was the first black alumnus to receive a degree from the University.
