The American Studies Department hosted an event Monday evening as part of its “Pizza & Praxis” series, with professors, guests and American Studies majors discussing how reproductive rights could change with the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Inter-Sorority Council kicked off a week of events Monday focusing on sexual assault awareness. ISC’s Wellness Week includes events for sorority members only each night Monday through Thursday, and an event open to the larger University Community on Sunday.
The Senate voted earlier this month to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh, thus marking the end of a fiercely contentious Supreme Court confirmation process. The votes were cast largely along party lines. In the aftermath of his confirmation, protestors charged past a police line to pound on the doors of the Supreme Court, demonstrating their opposition Kavanaugh’s confirmation. With all the strong emotions that resulted from this confirmation, I want to address the fundamental question at the root of it all — was the Senate wrong to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court?
With the midterms approaching in less than a month, Charlottesvillians have the opportunity to send a powerful message by flipping the Fifth District and electing Leslie Cockburn as their congressional representative. This midterm election not only holds serious repercussions for residents of the Fifth District, but also for the nation at large — this race is one of the critical toss-up districts that could shift the balance of power in the House of Representatives back to the Democrats. With that said, Cockburn’s personal qualifications to serve the Fifth District alone demonstrate that she is the only candidate fit to represent this district.
Since the start of this Fall Semester, there have been several reported cases of attempted robbery, sexual assault and pickpocketing around Grounds, most of which have occurred during evening hours. These numerous safety threats have caused students to fear walking home at night, raising doubts about the effectiveness of the University’s commitment to student safety. While the University has implemented many measures to improve campus security in recent years, the fact that serious crimes are still regularly being perpetrated against students clearly indicates that the administration needs to do more to improve the safety of Grounds.
Meaghan O’Reilly carries pepper spray in her backpack. After two attempted abductions were reported off-Grounds last October, O’Reilly — now a third-year College student — decided it was time to stock up.
On Sept. 27, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, accusing him of sexual assault 36 years ago. On Oct. 6, however, Kavanaugh was confirmed to the highest court in the land by the Senate by a vote of 50-48. While the prevalence of the #MeToo movement and incidents of sexual assault and harassment being uncovered by the press give the illusion that we have made progress on these issues, these recent events are reminiscent of another woman’s struggle back in 1991 — Anita Hill.
Fifth Congressional District candidates, Democrat Leslie Cockburn and Republican Denver Riggleman, squared off Monday evening at Piedmont Virginia Community College for their first televised debate. The two candidates spoke on issues such as government spending, climate change and social justice.

Leslie Cockburn, the Democratic candidate for Virginia’s Congressional Fifth District race, spoke to the University Democrats Wednesday night in Nau Hall. Cockburn’s speech focused on her campaign and the need for accountability in Washington.
As a society, we’re undergoing a massive reckoning with sexual assault. With survivors coming forward after years of silence, conversations about how to address their claims of abuse abound. With the particular cases of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, Louis C.K., Russell Simmons and others, public discourse about these men’s particular abuses tended to circulate around why their victims chose to speak up years later — intent on finding excuses for the accused to be truly innocent. This urge to protect sexual predators is not a new phenomenon. However, the watchdog and awareness power of the #MeToo movement has flipped the script, with the knee-jerk reaction to disbelieve survivors being searingly scrutinized.
Around 100 students and community members marched around the Lawn Thursday afternoon to support the Senate testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford about her sexual assault accusations against Brett Kavanaugh, a Federal Circuit Court Judge and current Supreme Court nominee.
In the past few weeks, Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been subject to intense scrutiny. Most notably, Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh have brought questions of his suitability for the Supreme Court. While the Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed voting proceedings in order to investigate these allegations and allow Ford to testify, his confirmation still seems likely. Given this reality, Kavanaugh's political and legal histories need to be examined, as many of views have potential to shift legal precedents and alter legal norms as we currently acknowledge them. In particular, it is important to bring to light Kavanaugh’s well-documented opinions about admissions policies for universities and private secondary education institutions alike, and how they could affect U.Va.
Over the course of Betsy DeVos’ tenure as the Secretary of Education, the U.S. Department of Education has been thrust into a political firestorm. From the beginning of her confirmation process, DeVos made it clear that her appointment into the position would bring drastic changes to the face of American education policy. For college students particularly, DeVos’ policy changes will directly impact how sexual misconduct is handled on campus. Under her direction, it is very likely that the sexual assault violations will result in less justice for survivors.
