FREED: Install blue light phones off Grounds

(03/30/23 9:01pm)

No matter what your walk to class takes you by, it is near impossible to avoid passing one of the University’s blue light phones. The University has taken great care in securing Grounds, with nearly 100 blue lights readily available to students on-Grounds. However, that same care has not been taken with areas outside of central Grounds, particularly around centers of off-Grounds student housing. With well over half of all University students living off-Grounds, it is past time for the University to expand the blue light phone system.

FREED: U.Va. has failed Jewish students

(11/03/22 7:21pm)

I almost missed it while I was scrolling through stories on Instagram, but there it was — a video posted by the Chabad House of a young man gleefully stealing a sign welcoming Jewish students to the home. This comes just days after Ye took to social media to unleash a hateful tirade against Jewish people. And while anti-semitism is nothing new to the University, it seemed to follow a pattern of increased hate crimes directed towards Jewish people all over the country. I must’ve watched that video 100 times — the man smiling as he undid the signs and ran off the porch. More than anything, I was taken aback by how brazen the act was — the man was unmasked and unhurried. But believing that there being a video would draw more eyes to the situation, I chose to take some comfort in his carelessness. Nearly two weeks later with not so much as an email from administration, I proved to be very wrong in this belief. I implore the University to right its wrongs and communicate the seriousness of this crime to the student body.

FREED: U.Va should replace all fleet vehicles with electric cars by 2030

(10/05/22 4:00am)

A few weeks ago, the California Air Resources Board passed a regulation requiring all new cars sold after 2035 to be free of greenhouse gasses like carbon dioxide. This news is of particular significance as former governor Ralph Northam signed legislation in 2021 tying the state's energy policies to rulings made by the California Air Resources Board. In response to the recent regulation, however, Governor Youngkin went on Fox News vowing to stop the “ridiculous” state ban on gas vehicles.Youngkin already has the support of a Republican-held Virginia house and is expected to take action soon to detach our energy laws from decisions made by the California Air Resources Board. Currently, the University owns a fleet of facilities management vehicles, most of which are diesel. With the national debate centered around the state, the University must take this opportunity to commit to replacing all fleet vehicles with electric cars by 2030.

FREED: U. Va. should require a race and ethnic studies credit to graduate

(09/01/22 2:15am)

Littered with syllabi and treks through the humid Virginia air, the first week of class always brings a renewed optimism to Grounds. However, it has also left me questioning what I want to contribute to or change at the University during my time here. And so I thought back to President Jim Ryan’s note commemorating the fifth anniversary of the “Unite the Right'' rally. He ended a difficult and painful message with a hopeful tone — eager that the memory of the events of Aug. 11 and 12, 2017 will continue “to inspire us to work to make the world a better and more welcoming place.” After reading Ryan’s email along with a recent lead editorial, I was left thinking what specifically that work should be and the role of education in that work. While the Editorial Board briefly explains the need for a required course, I would like to take this opportunity to call for a new required course category for all University students.
