The University is right to pursue online education and the tremendous opportunities it presents
The University’s new engineering fee could have been enacted in a more equitable and precise manner
Although it would have required sacrifices, the University should have hosted President Obama on Grounds
The presidential candidates should participate in events that engage young voters directly
Young voters should support Mitt Romney because his plan will result in more job opportunities for college graduates
You will see — free-floating columns, icons, a template of orange, white and blue print, and a linked edifice of pictures and Tweets, on this banner day for The Cavalier Daily.
Aside from being slightly older and on the opposite side of Grounds, I found new-school-year Charlottesville to be almost exactly as I left it: the people are charming, the architecture impressive and the weather predictably unpredictable.
The Board of Visitors must make an effort to clearly examine how the tumult of this summer occurred before sweeping it into the dust bin of history.

“Because of an inept Board a growing number of disparate players…are now left in a moral checkmate.”
Professor Larry Sabato tweeted Monday that the current Board of Visitors "has done more damage to the University I love than the 1895 Rotunda fire." Buildings can be rebuilt, traditions can be restored, funding recouped and rankings reestablished.
All money comes with strings attached; the strings of money itself. You can feel the value of a dollar; not truth, or justice, whose values are known and seldom felt, perhaps not even by Jefferson.
