Few topics spark more contentious discourse than the issue of free speech, especially on college campuses. Schools across the country struggle to strike a balance between the free exchange of ideas and cultivating an environment where students from diverse backgrounds can live and learn. Here in Charlottesville, the University ranks number 6 in the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s free speech ranking, if such a thing can be ranked numerically. It’s a fairly high ranking, and a student published in the Jefferson Independent claims the ranking gives the false impression that “students of different mindsets are dancing around a campfire, holding hands and singing folk songs.” This statement underscores a failure to grasp what the purpose of free speech is — it is not about superficial harmony in the wake of conflicting viewpoints, but rather the use of reason and debate to learn, grow, build consensus and move society forward. Free speech, then, may entitle people to platform problematic individuals, but it does not entitle these people — or the controversial speakers they invite — to any sort of welcoming, campfire-dancing student body.

As the Charlottesville City Council elections approach, Council member Michael Payne and City Council candidate Natalie Oschrin have endorsed a PILOT Program for the University. The PILOT Program –– which stands for Payment in Lieu of Taxes — calls for the University to pay at least $10 million annually to the City of Charlottesville in funds that would be directed towards affordable housing and public school projects. The University’s Student Council voted 22-1-1 in favor of the PILOT program last February, which Payne initially proposed. With city support apparent, with student action evident and with a proposal in place — the University should act now to initiate a PILOT program.

A cappella is a serious matter at the University. With close to 15 unique groups ranging from the No Tones, a group for people who claim they can’t sing, to the Flying V’s, a “rock-appella” group, there’s something for everyone — though the intense audition process can make joining a group competitive.

The pandemic stifled perhaps the most integral aspect of the arts — the ability to congregate and create something great for a community. Arts in Charlottesville have braved these setbacks, but the effects are still acutely felt. Ix Art Park, a nonprofit organization and a hallmark of the Charlottesville art scene, is pausing operations due to a funding shortage, and has recently had to remove five full-time employees from their payroll. The University community, in our quest to become a better neighbor of Charlottesville and more cognizant of our impact, should not take this development lightly. To preserve Charlottesville’s history and the unparalleled, individualized experience of a physical art space, the University community should give back to Ix Art Park.

It is rare to find a community as dedicated and passionate as the one that has been cultivated at the Music Resource Center here in Charlottesville.

Ahead of Saturday’s matchup against Boston College, Coach Tony Elliott has reinstated senior quarterback Tony Muskett as Virginia’s starter. But while Muskett was out with an injury he sustained in the opening game against Tennessee, Elliott and Cavalier fans have seen potential in his replacement, freshman quarterback Anthony Colandrea. The decision to stick with Muskett this weekend indicates a desire to stick to their initial preseason plans for at least another game to see if any changes can result in wins. Because Colandrea is widely seen as the future of the position for the Cavaliers, even if Muskett gives Virginia a better chance to win this season, bad play Saturday could spell the end for the senior’s time as the starting quarterback.
