According to the Office of the Vice President for Research’s 2025 annual report, the University spent $829 million on research and development in the last fiscal year, yielding 56 patents and 2,319 awards. Now, some experts say that mission could be challenged.

Like many University students, my journey back to my dorm on a weekend night is often marked by the blur of naked bodies running across the Lawn to the sound of drunken laughter. At this point, I’ve been entirely unphased by the appearance of unclad strangers running wild at my school — a bit of a strange concept to explain to my friends at other colleges.

Although Charlottesville is known for hosting the Virginia Film Festival, the film scene at the University is remarkably small. Until recently, there were only two film production-focused student organizations on Grounds — the Filmmakers Society and the Virginia Student Film Festival. And while these organizations have been able to offer students practical experience in film production and presentation, there were aspects of filmmaking behind the camera that had yet to be explored.

Tame Impala — the Grammy-winning and influential band known for an eccentric electronic sound — released their much-anticipated fifth album “Deadbeat” Oct. 17th. The album, consisting of 12 tracks, marks Tame Impala’s first in over five years and showcases the continual evolution of sole member Kevin Parker as both an artist and a person. “Deadbeat” — although not without more flaws than Tame Impala’s fans have grown to expect — is interesting, fresh and bursting with artistic ambition.

Riding high on the coattails of the critically acclaimed, vibrant sports-drama “Challengers,” director Luca Guadagnino has shifted gears for his newest release, “After the Hunt.” Moody, meandering and mildly infuriating, the film highlights the common stereotypes we place upon different generations, pitting teacher against student in a he-said-she-said of blame and deception.

Although the University ultimately chose not to sign the Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” Interim University President Paul Mahoney left open the possibility of future collaboration and alternative approaches in his letter to the Education Department. This possibility for cooperation has come despite months of heightened federal scrutiny and leadership turmoil at the University.

Earlier this year, Housing and Residence Life quietly cut a number of training modules concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion for resident advisors. While the impetus of this change may be related to the July 29 guidance document from the Office of the Attorney General, these sudden and undiscussed changes nullify the benefits that prior inclusion and belonging training had for the role of RAs. Moreover, HRL did not transparently inform their own student leaders, intensifying a continuous division between students and the administration in the governance of residence halls on Grounds. In trying to sweep under the rug their debilitation of RAs and their apathy towards students at our University, HRL tangibly disadvantages the residential communities it seeks to build.

The Jefferson Council’s recent letter regarding discontent with the Board of Visitors raises many well-founded arguments against those who might believe the Board’s presidential search must be more inclusive. The fact of the matter is this — Virginia law prescribes that the Board alone is responsible for choosing a new president. Debates about community inclusion are arguments about normative policy choices, rather than objective legal arguments. While one can certainly fault the Board for its policy decisions, it is undisputed that Virginia law does not recognize community involvement in the process of choosing a president. Yet, in their effort to save the Board from political disparagement, the Jefferson Council fails to consider another, more obvious argument against the Board’s actions— the fact that it does not meet the legal requirement to be considered a governing board at all.

This summer, the admissions office quietly announced that the University would no longer be requiring supplemental essays for most applicants, except those applying to the School of Nursing. For decades, these essays have served as a way for applicants to share personal information that helped inform admission officers’ decisions, offering a glimpse into their values, experiences and ambitions outside of the Common App Personal Statement. With their elimination, the admissions office loses a critical window into applicants’ personalities and backgrounds, limiting its ability to holistically evaluate if a student would be a good fit for the University.

What began as one student’s daydream of a cake picnic managed to transform the South Lawn into a sunlit maze of buttercream, gingham and community joy Sunday afternoon. With 54 cakes lined across long tables and 132 ticket holders weaving through the display, Cake on the Lawn felt like something between a bake sale, an art show and a love letter to Charlottesville’s sweeter side.

The new-look Virginia basketball is here, teeming with size, shooting and offensive firepower. Coach Ryan Odom, a purveyor of fast-paced basketball and an amateur mathematician in his belief that three points is more than two, has assembled a team of veterans hell-bent on playing March basketball and certainly capable of getting there.

In this week’s From the Archives, we highlight the enduring impact of Madison House and other community service organizations at the University. Community service has long been a cornerstone of student life at the University, strengthening the bond between the University and the Charlottesville community.

Each tutor would be matched with a student and would spend about an hour and a half each week helping them study. Occasionally, students would withdraw due to disillusionment with the program and the student they were helping, but Dallas Crow, director of Special Services for Charlottesville Public Schools, said that volunteers in recent years had a more realistic projection of their student's progress.1980sOct. 24, 1985“Madison House Celebrating 10 years of community service”By Karen BurmeisterPhotos by Katharine Ayres and Greg ViningCelebrating 10 years of community service through Madison House, writer Karen Burmeister provided testimonies and depictions of service events on and off Grounds.

The IFC and BFC members would also build the dwelling, but the Charlottesville chapter of Habitat for Humanity would pick the owners of the new house, which they hoped would be a local low-income family. IFC Service Chairman Eric Giesler and IFC President Joe Altman both expressed hope that the project would increase connection between all members of the fraternity community, as well as inspiring similar projects around the University for years to come.2000sOct. 23, 2006“University student Meredith Powell helps children discover the world of art in Charlottesville” By Daniel ReinishPhotos by Daniel ReinishFourth year College student Meredith Powell shares her experience volunteering at the Virginia Discovery Museum as a member of Madison House.
