BERMAN: End meal exchange

Students are constantly being cheated by this system because they are paying several dollars more per meal than they would be were the meal exchange option not in place.


Opinion

​PATEL: The drinking divide

The fact that other groups are not bound by similar restrictions is openly discriminatory. Fraternities cannot have kegs, liquor or any sort of mixed drink at a party and non-IFC fraternities and organizations can.

​MINK: Taking MOOCs to the next level

ZIFF: Requiem for a Zionist dream

​ADAMES: Waking up from the American Dream

As Americans, in order to make sense of our realities, we have been telling ourselves the narrative “if you work hard, then you will succeed.” This aphorism is dishonest because it ignores the cumulative factors that result in a person’s success.


Opinion

A desire to maintain — or perhaps, not further damage — U.Va.’s reputation likely fueled these attempts to intervene as well, especially in light of the three high-profile controversies of the last academic school year.


Opinion

​BERMAN: Consulting is crowding out other fields

While the career fair serves as an excellent opportunity for both students and employers alike to reach out to one another, the event would be greatly enhanced by a more diverse set of participating employers, as it would appeal to a wider portion of the student body.
