The crowd at New Cabell Hall erupted into applause and loud cheers as masks were pulled off third-year College student Garrison Ambrose and his line brothers, revealing the new inductees of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. Alpha Phi Alpha was the first historically black fraternity this spring to celebrate its new members in a neophyte presentation last week.
The response from University students and administration following the arrest of third-year College student Martese Johnson on the Corner early Wednesday morning has been swift.

After spending spring break in a cabin in the woods with no Internet, I was behind on just about everything. Hoping to catch up, I checked the news section on the sidebar of Facebook and skimmed a couple major news outlets. As I looked through various news sites, I noticed a lot of websites now include an additional category along with sports, entertainment and other standards. Many have started to include a new section dedicated to “feminist news.”
Malena Magnolia, an interdisciplinary mixed media artist from Richmond and Charlottesville, took photographs in front of the Rotunda on Monday as part of an art exhibition about sexual assault she will hold in early April.

Last year I penned an article — originally a Cavalier Daily Opinion section application piece intended for my editors only — entitled “Examining Women’s Studies.” It was deservedly met with a deluge of criticism and controversy. Just hours after the article was published, I received a flood of Facebook messages from strangers either praising my “courage” or ridiculing me for stupidity, misogyny and just generally being an all-around degenerate. The article’s comments ranged from logical deconstructions of my argument to the obscene. In one of my discussion sections, a student expressed her take on the article by saying to me, “It’s a real shame because you seemed like a nice guy.”

As the game clock wound down at the Carrier Dome Monday, a much-anticipated sense of déjà vu started to sink in for Virginia fans, players and coaches alike.

Last Friday, the Virginia House of Delegates and state Senate unanimously passed legislation regarding reporting of sexual assaults at Virginia colleges and universities. The new bill requires school personnel to report evidence of a sexual assault to that school’s Title IX committee within 72 hours and also requires that any case deemed to be a felony assault be submitted to the police or for review by a local commonwealth attorney — regardless of the survivor’s wishes.
While it may seem like a resumption of normalcy after last semester’s uproar over the Rolling Stone report on sexual assault and the “Black Lives Matter” protests, the Living Wage Campaign ignited our eerily silent, snowy and slippery grounds with shouts of dissent last week. If you think the cold is bad, three years ago students in the Living Wage Campaign organized a 13-day hunger strike through the snow, rain and, of course, hunger. But the Living Wage Campaign is nothing new; it is not about trendy activism or in response to any single event. It comes out of a legacy of students putting their bodies on the line for workers’ rights, a tradition, which, if you will, is one of the University’s least publicized.
Student Council met Tuesday to address changing policies on CIOs, University sustainability and sexual assault. The new initiatives include approving new CIO’s and discussing the addition of a “sustainability” tab on the University’s home page.
