The Academic and Student Life Committee of the Board of Visitors heard from Interim Provost Brie Gertler June 5, where she discussed the University’s decennial 2027 reaffirmation of accreditation. The University continues to prepare its submission for accreditation, which includes a focus on undergraduate internship opportunities as its improvement target.
After bedlam surrounding University President Jim Ryan’s resignation, some faculty members convened Monday to ask questions and share comments with each other. The meeting operated under the Chatham House Rule, meaning that The Cavalier Daily was granted permission to attend the 90-minute session under the conditions that no faculty member would be attributed by name or departmental affiliation.
The Board of Visitors will soon begin the process of selecting an interim president and conducting a national search for a new president in the wake of former University President Jim Ryan’s resignation which came under pressure from the Department of Justice. As the Board searches for a new president, viewpoint diversity is likely to be a topic on their mind.

“Ballerina” is the fifth film in the John Wick series, but the first without Keanu Reeves’ John Wick in the lead role. A John Wick movie without John Wick at the lead might sound as difficult to pull off as a “Mission Impossible” movie without Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, or perhaps more fittingly a “Matrix” movie without Reeves’ Neo. And indeed, “Ballerina”— which follows the adventures of assassin Eve Macarro, played by Ana de Armas, who kills her way through a movie — is entertaining but never actually finds its footing.
After seven years serving in the position, University President Jim Ryan publicly announced his resignation Friday following demands from the Department of Justice for him to step down from the role. The Cavalier Daily invited University alumni to share their thoughts on the situation via email, and many who responded expressed negative feelings about the news.
Between April 11 and June 17, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division sent seven letters to University officials, according to documents obtained by The Cavalier Daily through a Freedom of information Act request.

Editor’s Note: The student responses below were collected via a Microsoft Form posted to The Cavalier Daily’s Instagram account Friday in the wake of University President Jim Ryan’s resignation. They have been edited for grammar, style and length. We have only included responses from current students. Some students requested to be anonymous, and in those cases, we have identified them by their school and year.
It is not unusual when graduate students suit up for a school’s athletic programs. In an era of college sports defined by the “COVID year,” multiple categories of redshirts and a seemingly bottomless void of eligibility at the disposal of NCAA players, graduate students are on rosters now more than ever.
Picking classes every semester can feel like a lottery. But whether you are a first-year student looking to explore your options or a fourth-year wanting to take a fun elective, the good news is that the University offers a myriad of arts courses to take that are engaging and enlightening. No matter your major, arts classes can provide a creative outlet and introduce you to valuable new skills.
Hundreds of University and Charlottesville community members joined University President Jim Ryan outside Madison House Saturday morning to participate in a final Run With Jim. The Fourth-Year Trustees planned the event on a whim just a few hours after the announcement of Ryan’s resignation Friday morning with volunteer support from the younger councils.
University President Jim Ryan resigned June 27 under pressure from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice, having been accused of misrepresenting his efforts to dismantle the University’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs. As students, we first learned of his resignation not from our own University, but from The New York Times. This failure of transparency by the University’s Board of Visitors is deeply troubling and reflective of the Trump Administration’s brazen campaign against higher education and academic freedom. This failure is compounded by a serious conflict of interest — the Board is largely appointed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin, and the University Counsel is unable to take legal action due to control exerted over them by the Virginia Attorney General’s office. To yield in the face of federal pressure does more than betray the University’s core values — it encourages future attacks on academia.
The news sent shockwaves throughout the University and higher education nationwide.
The news of President Jim Ryan’s resignation has hit Grounds like a slap across the face, placing the spotlight on the University in ways not seen since the dark days of 2017, when hundreds of white nationalists descended on Charlottesville and enacted violence on our community. The irony is that many other University community members and I have had our own frustrations and critiques of Ryan’s leadership throughout his seven-year tenure at the University. His administration too often engaged in civility politics, evaded responsibility on difficult questions, put forth half-measures in moments of crisis and resorted to heavy-handed tactics against the safety and wishes of students and faculty.
