The second and final session of the University’s national “Dialogue at UVa: Sexual Misconduct Among College Students” conference was held on Grounds Tuesday.
Monday marked the beginning of a two-day national conference concerning sexual misconduct on college campuses hosted by the University.
I read the comments all the time on The Cavalier Daily. It’s just about the only website on which I read the comments, and that’s only because it’s literally my job to do so. The comments vary widely in their intent and content. Some are insightful and engaging. Sadly, these are rather few and far between. Largely, the commenters are either hammering their own personal agendas or aiming for snark. On the occasion where the commenter’s personal agenda topic actually cuts across the topic of the article or column, the comment may actually end up being engaging. Too often, though, commenters are just lashing out without offering anything substantive, all of which is to say that we readers have a responsibility to try to make The Cavalier Daily a valuable resource, too. When commenting, especially on the opinion pieces, engage with the material. Often the writers will respond, and the dialogue is illuminating. On news stories, writers won’t and shouldn’t respond themselves.
Students celebrated the end of formal fraternity recruitment last Saturday night with the annual “Boys’ Bid Night” festivities.
Students in Virginia’s public colleges and universities routinely face lengthy suspensions and expulsions if found responsible for serious charges of criminal activity in on-grounds hearings. Despite the gravity of the charges and the life-long consequences that may result, most of Virginia institutions deny accused students the right to hire and be represented by an attorney. That unfair dynamic will change if the legislature enacts HB 1123.
Recently, The Cavalier Daily published an editorial discussing President Obama’s task force on college sexual assault, which he announced almost two weeks ago. The editorial argues that in order to address the roots of sexual misconduct, we need to focus on its complex causes, not just the appropriate methods of response. While the editorial offers a fair critique of the task force’s strengths and limitations, I suggest the solution is nearer to us than the managing board suspects. The University’s upcoming national conference on sexual misconduct exemplifies a new standard of dialogue on this complex issue.
In a recent editorial for this paper, Nazar Aljassar made the case that the pervasive negative stigma surrounding feminism can be attributed to both unfortunate stereotypes and the movement’s inherent elitism. I am not writing here to respond to Aljassar’s argument, but rather to some of its assumptions as well as the discussion his article has generated. Feminism is not the elitist, reverse-sexist movement it is almost always made out to be, and is actually a much larger movement than the layperson would believe in — in fact, you are almost certainly a feminist. And we need to take the term back to its original meaning.
Students unveiled the Handprint Project this week, a campaign aimed to curb sexual assault on fraternity bid night. The project seeks to educate students about sexual assault prevention and intervention and is co-sponsored by Democracy for America Charlottesville, the Inter-Fraternity Council, the Honor Committee, One-in-Four and One Less.
Growing up, my parents taught me their golden rule for social interaction: when you meet someone for the first time, make sure never to bring up religion or politics. This seemingly harmless rule betrays a deeply held but little-expressed attitude about personal relations: it is assumed that if the opinions of others differ from our own, particularly on deeply held and personal beliefs like religion or politics, the result of the conversation must be conflict and a failure to find any common ground.
President Obama has vowed to address the issue of sexual assault on college campuses. Last Wednesday he created a task force dedicated to accomplishing a series of goals, which fall into two basic categories: giving colleges better tools and resources to deal with the problem of sexual assault, and holding them accountable — legally and in the court of public opinion — when they fail to utilize these tools to the best of their abilities.
A Charlottesville man was sentenced to 20 years in prison last Thursday for a sexual assault that occurred in the fall of 2012 near the Corner.
President Barack Obama announced Wednesday he is directing the Office of the Vice President and the White House Council on Women and Girls to lead an “interagency effort” to address campus sexual assault and rape. Obama said many universities provide inadequate assistance to students and lack effective preventative measures.
“Hey, bitch, give me your number,” one yelled.
The ACC proved to be just as top-heavy in football as pundits predicted — the conference went 5-6 overall in bowls, but captured a pair of BCS wins, including the National Championship. Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech and Boston College all fell flat against competition hailing from major programs after posting relatively good seasons, with three of the four schools falling by more than 20 points.
Derrick Johnson, Sr., 27, was charged with raping a Charlottesville resident by force earlier this month on the 1200 block of Jefferson Park Avenue, according to a University Police press release.
Specks of pale green line one wall of my childhood bedroom. Encased in frames that also consist of pictures of a cheesing, preadolescent me with a bowl cut mirroring that of the little kid from “Liar Liar,” the spoils of my swimming career from ages 5 and 6 have danced before my eyes for 15 years. “Participant,” the green ribbons read.
Fourth-year College students Evan Behrle and Charlie Tyson accepted Rhodes Scholarships Saturday. Tyson, the executive editor of The Cavalier Daily, and Behrle, the chair of the Honor Committee, are the 49th and 50th Rhodes Scholarship winners from the University.
Attending screenings at the annual Virginia Film Festival is like drinking a glass of red wine and then having a conversation with the vintner. It might not be the newest or most buzzworthy drink (here’s looking at you “Ciroc boys”), and you might not always enjoy the wine, but the experience allows you to understand the mastery it took to create the wine and gives you a new appreciation.
Democrats this year have embraced scare tactics designed to paint Republican Ken Cuccinelli as such a terrible candidate that Democrat Terry McAuliffe wins the race by default. The Cuccinelli that the Democrats have crafted is heartless, extreme, unacceptable and unelectable. The real Cuccinelli, however, is none of these things. He is passionate about policy and about people, he is experienced and he is by far Virginia’s best candidate.
The Thursday, Oct. 10 print edition of The Cavalier Daily was the sexual violence issue. With a large, stark headline reading “Sexual Violence is Not Inevitable” and the lead editorial beginning on the front page, the reader was immediately shown that this issue would be different than most. And I applaud that difference. This issue was devoted to informing, educating and advocating about the problem of sexual violence in our community generally and the University community specifically. It was an effort by a significant community institution to provide a service to its readers. Being of service to the University community in ways that are not just about reporting news is something that Editor-in-Chief Kaz Komolafe has indicated to me is important to the current managing board of The Cavalier Daily. In this case I think the writers and editors of The Cavalier Daily succeeded in being of service.
