Opinion Columnist Hunter Hess wrote an article for The Cavalier Daily Oct. 4 urging Senate Democrats and the rest of the nation to block the President’s Supreme Court nominee from being confirmed until after the next president takes office.

This policy will be reevaluated after April 5 at the earliest, but in light of many other schools having already committed to online courses for the rest of the semester, the University following suit would come as no surprise.
