After University President-elect Scott Beardsley was appointed to be the University’s 10th president Friday, several state leaders were quick to criticize his appointment, even those who view him favorably. Democrats made clear they are not backing down from the fight.
Coach Ryan Odom and his team knew that Maryland presented a greater challenge than the Terrapins’ (6-6, 0-2 Big Ten) record suggested. Even with star senior forward Pharrel Payne sidelined due to injury, Maryland played No. 2 Michigan competitively a week prior. As the former head coach at Virginia Tech, Coach Buzz Williams was no stranger to John Paul Jones Arena.
The University paid more than $1.8 million to the law firm McGuireWoods LLP for legal services related to the Justice Department’s investigations, according to invoices sent between April and August 2025. The documents, which cover legal work performed between April and August, show extensive attorney activity billed at rates approaching $1,000 per hour, though nearly all narrative descriptions of the work are redacted.
With the holiday season in full swing and a 10-day break in the rearview mirror, Virginia returned to John Paul Jones Arena Saturday to take on Winthrop. The Cavaliers (9-3, 1-0 ACC) annihilated the Eagles (7-7, 0-0 BSC) 88-53. Virginia controlled the game from start to finish, but it was a monster 41-point showing by junior guard Kymora Johnson that ultimately turned a commanding win into a demolition derby.
Thursday, Dallas FC selected Virginia freshman forward Nicholas Simmonds and senior midfielder Umberto Pelá in the MLS SuperDraft — a draft of eligible amateur soccer players — with the third and 44th overall picks respectively. Eligibility is extended to collegiate players who are sophomores or older, or collegiate players who have signed Generation adidas contracts. Simmonds signed a Generation adidas contract — a joint developmental program between adidas and the MLS — to become draft-eligible Wednesday.
The appointment of Scott Beardsley, the current Dean of the Darden Business School, to be tenth president of the University Friday sparked conversation amongst University leaders. Putting aside Beardsley’s character and expectations for his work as president, many wished the Board had waited before finalizing the president-elect.
Every February, a group of 54 students entering their final year of undergraduate studies are accepted to live on the Lawn. Living in one of these rooms is supposed to be a privilege due to the Lawn’s history and prominence in University life. Due to this prestige, the experience is offered to students who have demonstrated service to the University or Charlottesville, as well as academic achievement. However, the incompatibility between getting a Lawn room and undergoing the University housing process creates harm for students trying to determine their fourth-year accommodations — especially when considering the off-Grounds housing market.
Scott Beardsley, current dean of the Darden School of Business, was selected unanimously in a special meeting by the University’s Board of Visitors Friday to serve as the University’s tenth president.

Members of U.Va. Health Management hosted a question-and-answer town hall in McKim Hall and on Zoom Tuesday. The panel was composed of six members of U.Va Health’s management.

In a letter to the Faculty Senate sent Nov. 14, former University President Jim Ryan shared his account of the events which led to his resignation, and said that now-Rector Rachel Sheridan had hired a lawyer to represent the Board and speak to him regarding his resignation. An engagement letter between the Virginia attorney general’s office and Wilkinson Stekloff law firm, obtained by The Cavalier Daily from an anonymous source, confirms that the firm was retained to represent the Board in the days leading to Ryan’s resignation.
At the University, dating is not only about attraction — it is also about access. Social structures like class, race and Greek life quietly influence who students meet, who they can connect with and ultimately, who gets to date whom.
6-foot-11 Jack Salt stood inside the Covenant School gymnasium Dec. 3, in a city that still feels like home away from home. The former Virginia center returned to Charlottesville not as a player wearing 33 in white, navy blue and orange, or as the defensive anchor of a national championship team. Instead, he returned as a basketball mentor, bringing a group of Australian high schoolers to the United States to learn about the sport.
The Peer Health Education program is made up of students who work to empower their peers to develop healthier habits. Evie Liu, current Outreach Coordinator of PHE and fourth-year college student, discusses the role of PHE in promoting a “community of care” in the student body and expands on the organization’s various initiatives.
The Faculty Senate met Friday to discuss and pass a resolution expressing discontent with the timeline of the presidential search process.

ED is the first of three rounds of applications — the other two being Early Action and Regular Decision, which will be announced in the Spring.
This Wednesday, DRAM 3652 “Producing Theatre” put on their semester-long culminating performance of “Where Words Once Were.” Free to all, the play was performed in the Helms Theatre.
