Schools moved classes online throughout the pandemic, so online class is something that has become painfully familiar to students of this generation. Like other institutions, the University relied heavily on this format during the pandemic. However, the University's use of online classes has outlasted the pandemic, with some classes remaining exclusively online. It seems that, in the University’s eyes, a student’s experience in an online class is just as valuable as one in person — after all, the two types of classes carry the same credit value. The University’s reliance on online classes as an equally effective alternative to in-person classes ignores the sheer disparity in learning experience between the two. In light of this reality, the University must stop offering online asynchronous classes to full-time, in-person undergraduate students.

The Corner is a hub of student social life at the University, and a primary point of intersection between students and the City of Charlottesville. It has always been known for its quaint collection of small businesses that endow the city of Charlottesville with a unique quality that separates it from other college towns. Unfortunately, over the past few years — and especially during the pandemic — independent small businesses are being replaced by large franchises. The growing presence of franchises and chain restaurants is destroying the sense of authenticity on the Corner — an authenticity that has long been cultivated by local businesses as gathering places for students of different backgrounds and interests. The introduction of generic chains only makes the Corner’s unique identity disappear. The University has a responsibility to repurpose its property on the Corner, such as the multipurpose space 1515, to help uplift the charm of small businesses so that future students can truly experience the town we have all come to love.
