A panel on due process, Title IX and campus sexual misconduct was held at the Caplin Pavilion at the University Law School Wednesday evening. After concerns about poor representation on the panel, Student Council decided yesterday to no longer sponsor the event.
Save your anger. The way toward meaningful social change in America is not dialogue and it is definitely not demonstration. Recent anger over the brutal actions of the agents of the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control is being misdirected. I am as outraged as the next guy, but I am also much more cynical about the chance for change than the next guy. I am this way because of the large number of examples of anger leading to meaningful action that doesn’t produce meaningful change.
The Board of Visitors heard an oral report last week from O’Melveny and Myers, LLP on the status of their independent review of the University’s response to the 2012 sexual assault detailed in Rolling Stone. The firm is scheduled to release a final written report in early April.
As Opinion columnist Bobby Doyle correctly pointed out in his op-ed earlier this week, the University is taking part in a very important dialogue regarding the mental health of our students. With the tragedies of last semester, our students are at an exponentially greater risk for depression and self-harm — which makes clarification of some of the points Doyle made extremely important. It is necessary that our students be accurately informed about the resources available to them regarding receiving aid for their mental health.
The University released a revised interim Policy on Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment and Other Forms of Interpersonal Violence Monday afternoon. The 18-page interim policy describes reporting options, specific procedures under the policy and distinctions between reporting and procedural options for both students and University employees.
As I described in part in “Until proven guilty,” an article I wrote for The Cavalier Daily last year, I had just completed the most significant project for my History and Civilization of Classical India class half an hour before lecture started. When I got to the classroom, instead of turning in my assignment and taking some time to find a good seat in lecture, I found a University police officer talking to my professor. I overheard my professor explain to him who I was, what I looked like and where I usually sat in the classroom.
The Green Dot Program held its launch event at the University’s Amphitheatre Thursday in an effort to familiarize the University community attendees with the program and to gather information on sexual assault bystander intervention.

Rape, assault, cheating on tests, police brutality, excessive drinking and sports scandals are racking higher education.
On Feb. 18, The New York Times published an article reporting attempts by legislators in 10 states to pass bills that would legalize carrying guns on campus as a measure to reduce instances of sexual assault. Five days later, The Cavalier Daily’s Managing Board issued a response in which it vehemently refuted the notion that firearms would increase safety on campus; this argument was in line with a previous article in which the Board congratulated the Virginia senate for striking down a bill that would allow concealed carry on college campuses.
To the University of Virginia,
The University’s chapter of To Write Love on Her Arms placed 1,100 black flags on the South Lawn Monday to represent the 1,100 college students who die by suicide every year.

I am writing as a concerned and committed alumnus. Recent incidents on Grounds have shocked and disturbed the community. Moreover, they have signaled the need for collective contemplation, direct action and a commitment to socio-cultural, political and ideological change. In other words, the changes the University must undergo are totalizing. Age-old traditions, attitudes and practices must be forgone and they must be replaced with new customs, values and traditions that speak to our evolving ideals.
