“The Vagina Monologues,” a recent production by the Virginia Players Lab Series explored female health, sexuality, violence and empowerment.

The performance consisted of 13 different monologues, each performed by different University students, taken from interviews V conducted with a variety of women on their experiences with relationships, sex and gender.

Gail Gerry arrived at the University in 1970 as part of the first undergraduate coeducational class. Entering as the result of a divisive decision, the presence of women was not universally celebrated. Some male students refused to sit beside them in class, and many believed the University had made a huge mistake by letting a coeducational class of women in at all. This reaction and treatment sparked a fire in many of the women, and left several feeling as if they had something to prove.

She also reflected on her takeaways after years of researching the American Revolutionary Period, as this year marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Riding high on the coattails of the critically acclaimed, vibrant sports-drama “Challengers,” director Luca Guadagnino has shifted gears for his newest release, “After the Hunt.” Moody, meandering and mildly infuriating, the film highlights the common stereotypes we place upon different generations, pitting teacher against student in a he-said-she-said of blame and deception.

At the University, there are a wealth of artistic groups in everything from dance to drama. Still, it is easy to become overwhelmed with the sheer number of shows, events and exhibits — particularly when one does not know where to look. Alongside a group of passionate arts students, third-year College student Jack Ireland is currently working to change that with the Great Big Arts Calendar.

The audience in McLeod was electric Saturday evening as the Virginia Women’s Chorus hosted their 9th annual Women Against Violence concert. Aptly titled “Lift Me Up,” the benefit concert consisted of nine different musical groups from the University and the greater Charlottesville area who performed in support of the Sexual Assault Resource Agency.

Charlottesville is unique for a few reasons. Obviously, it is the home of the University and Monticello. But there is another reason — one that may be unknown to most. The city is home to the original amateur female arm wrestling group.

This spring, the Biden Administration announced changes to Title IX, the policy that protects students from sex-based discrimination in schools receiving federal financial assistance. Importantly, these new changes will expand protections for LGBTQ+ college students, as well as improve how colleges must respond to reports of sexual harassment and assault. In light of these changes, multiple states are filing lawsuits to stop this new version of Title IX from going into effect — including Virginia. Contrary to lawsuits which actively endanger the essential implementation of Title IX, the Biden administration’s changes better protect LGBTQ+ and female students from harassment at every school level. In short, legal challenges, like that of Virginia, are an affront to the rights of millions of students nationwide.

After a controversy regarding editorial oversight of the paper caused The Cavalier Daily to disaffiliate from the University, newspaper alumni continue to stress the importance of the paper’s independent reporting 45 years after the split. The disaffiliation was sparked by the newspaper’s long-term refusal to acknowledge the authority of the University’s Media Board of Directors, which was tasked with overseeing student publications, and codified The Cavalier Daily’s financial and editorial independence.

In 2015, the United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights released an investigation, in which they found that the University failed to adequately prevent a sexually hostile environment or respond promptly to cases of sexual violence. This prompted the University to begin community-wide education regarding sexual violence with a mandatory education module. Since then, before students matriculate, they are required to complete a module designed to prevent sexual harassment and violence on Grounds. The requirement of the module laudably demonstrates the University’s desire to take serious steps towards preventing violence within our community.
