A new trial date was set last week in University Assoc. Dean Nicole Eramo’s defamation suit against Rolling Stone magazine, Sabrina Erdely and Wenner Media.
The year of 2015 was marked by student protests. These protests centered around a variety of issues, including race, student debt, sexual assault and the freedom of speech and expression. The latter issue was at the focus of a viral video at Yale University. This video showcased a student harshly condemning her residential college’s master, Nicholas Christakis, for his and Erika Christakis’ suggestion that students tolerate cultural appropriation. This confrontation stemmed from an email sent by associate master Erika Christakis. Unsurprisingly, writers hounded on this video and its backstory as an opportunity to attack the so-called “liberal college campus,” calling its students “coddled.” However, they fail to grasp the situation from the standpoint of those against cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation is not simply about banning someone from wearing a costume based on someone else’s culture. Rather, cultural appropriation is about desecrating the culturally sacred. A closer look at the sociology of religion provides us further insight behind the rationale of protests against cultural appropriation.
Vagina. About half of the world’s population has a vagina. All nine performers in the Virginia Player’s Reading Series’s presentation of “The Vagina Monologues” have vaginas.
Allegations of sexual abuse have plagued Bill Cosby for many years now, but it was not until just over a month ago that he was charged for the first time. Despite Cosby having not yet been found guilty of those charges, or of assaulting anyone, it seems many have already presumed him as such. This eagerness with which our society appears to label someone as guilty causes me to wonder whether we truly desire justice, or just a need to close cases in order to feel better about wrongs that have taken place.
Virginia House Bill 781, which would require people to use public restrooms according to their “biological sex,” passed a Virginia House subcommittee Thursday.
In the latest misguided attempt to grapple with the campus sexual assault crisis, lawmakers are pushing to arm women on college campuses. State Del. Nicholas Freitas (R-Culpeper) recently sponsored House Bill 761, a piece of legislation which “prohibits public institutions of higher education from adopting or enforcing any rules prohibiting a female who possess [sic] a valid Virginia concealed handgun permit from carrying a concealed handgun on campus.” The bill comes amid several other Republican proposals to support gun ownership in Virginia, including a bill which would allow faculty members to carry guns on college campuses with a concealed weapons permit.
Some of the best shows on television are political dramas and comedies. With the 2016 presidential election heating up, shows currently on the air have plenty of material to glean from ongoing real-life antics. Political television dramas use their artistic medium to tackle many issues that have been hotly debated in real life, such as gay marriage, civil rights, sexual assault and corruption. Political comedies poke fun at much of the ridiculousness of the political landscape, whether it is an outrageous personality or policy, which can help shape the way we think about politics. Here are some of the best political television shows, from dramas to comedies.
With the start of the spring semester, the fraternity recruitment process is underway. For members of sororities, this event comes with a change from previous years, as they are not allowed to attend or participate in fraternity recruitment events. While this rule has been in effect since 2011, this is the first year that the National Panhellenic Conference, or NPC — the umbrella organization that governs the University’s fifteen sororities — has enforced the rule at the University. This enforcement certainly seems a well-intentioned attempt to protect members during what some see as a high-risk period. Still, I am skeptical as to whether this enforcement, as well as the rule itself, is an effective means of protecting sorority members and ensuring a safe community.
The University has given seed funding to the Power, Violence and Inequality Collective, a group that proposes to bring together faculty from throughout the University to sponsor research and activities related to power, violence and inequality.

When I arrive at the Garrett Hall bus stop, there are roughly a hundred students, mostly black, standing and conversing on the steps adjacent to the road. It's 8 p.m. and the sky is dark; a single spotlight stands at the base of the steps, illuminating the crowd from below. Under the organization of the Black Student Alliance and the local NAACP chapter, students have gathered here to stand in solidarity with fellow activists at Yale and the University of Missouri following occurrences of racist incidents there. A representative from the NAACP makes opening remarks, two students sing and another recites the poem “If We Must Die” by Claude McKay. Then, BSA President Aryn Frazier walks down from the steps and begins talking.
Attorneys for the five former University swim team members accused of hazing are calling for the dismissal of the lawsuit filed by a former teammate.
