Pearl Island Café is a charming shop that offers delectable Caribbean dishes — which the cafe describes as a fusion of African, Amerindian, European, East Indian, Arab and Chinese cuisine, with influence from the indigenous population of the Caribbean as well. Not only does the Black-owned restaurant provide tasty bites in a sustainable manner, but they educate the patrons on what they’re eating and its history — one of my favorite aspects.

For a president and vice president who both attended the best institutions of higher education, the leaders of our country are unusually hellbent on deconstructing the nature of academia. In recent executive orders, President Donald Trump has attempted to cut research funding to colleges across the United States by amounts that would produce drastic drops in research at universities, including ours. The impetus for the order purports to reduce government inefficiencies and eliminate research programs associated with diversity, equity and inclusion. Though this action has been temporarily blocked by the judicial system, the threat to research remains real and potent. Whatever the root cause, our government has lost a perception of research it used to espouse — university research moves humanity forward. While eliminating research funding associated with DEI may cut costs, the potential for and investment into new learning is halted by an efficiency-crazed government.

We are currently in the middle of Black History Month, a time celebrating the accomplishments Black Americans have made. Here on Grounds, organizations are hosting events to celebrate such history and beauty. Blackness being celebrated around Grounds is, in part, an attempt to combat the shameful past of this institution which has deep ties to racism, slavery and eugenics. In this way, it is impossible to turn a blind eye — even if the University sometimes does — to the damning history that is ingrained in these Grounds. With the rise of regressive policies like repealing affirmative action and the repression of student-led historical tours, we as students must ask ourselves if the University is doing enough to remain attentive to possible backsliding against progress made thus far.

America has a prison problem. This much is clear. The United States leads NATO countries in incarceration rate by a tremendous margin, and somehow, Virginia’s incarceration rate — 679 people per 100,000 — is still significantly higher than the national average of 614. The Virginia prison system, already harmful in its overwhelming scope, is only worsened by allegedly negligent health protocols, recently generating numerous injuries and deaths in Virginia’s prisons and jails. And state laws mandating the University to purchase various items from prison labor sources make the University inherently complicit in this harmful system. The combination of high incarceration numbers and healthcare failures has created an abusive system that demands change from both the state and the University.
