University students, staff and Charlottesville community members gathered on the Lawn Friday afternoon to demonstrate their support for University President Jim Ryan following the news of his resignation earlier that day. Hundreds of community members turned out with individuals chanting, giving speeches and waving signs to express their anger and fear at the federal government’s interference in higher education.
Celebrated every June, Pride Month is a time of celebration and authenticity, as well as a reflection on those who made progress for Queer people possible. Though the month will soon be over, it is never too late to celebrate the Queer community and all who are a part of it. A great way to do so is to engage with identities — and literature — that are often politicized and censored.
Throughout the last months, the Department of Justice has pressured University President Jim Ryan to step down, alleging that the University had violated a federal order to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs. This was an unprecedented and invasive ultimatum — lose vital federal funding for the University, or resign. Yesterday, Ryan submitted his resignation to the Board of Visitors, putting an end to his tenure of seven years and choosing to put the longevity of the institution and the security of its students above his own job.
University President Jim Ryan announced his resignation to the University community Friday afternoon, following the Board of Visitors’ acceptance of his resignation Thursday. In his statement, sent via email to the entire community, Ryan said that choosing to remain in his position would threaten employees’ jobs, researchers’ funding and students’ financial aid and visa access.
June 14, about 5 million people gathered across the country to participate in the “No Kings” protest, showing their disapproval of the way President Donald Trump has shown authoritarian leanings in his second term. While demonstrators themselves remained peaceful, some of the protests became violent as people opposing the protests resorted to acts of violence. In Culpeper, Va., a man intentionally drove an SUV through a crowd of “No Kings” demonstrators, an act of political violence which is abominable in its disrespect for free speech, peaceful protest and basic human dignity.
The average American teen spends over seven hours on their phone daily. With this generation of “screenagers” entering college and adulthood, they are experiencing increasing difficulty working on tasks that require long periods of focus. At the college level, this results in students who do not have the capacity to read entire books or engage with complex material, leading them to look for short cuts like generative artificial intelligence that undermine the purpose of higher education. The University and students have a responsibility to counter these issues , namely attention deficits which encourage problematic short cuts, before they permanently take hold.

A perennial NCAA powerhouse, Virginia field hockey routinely attracts players not only from all over the country, but also the world. Yet, despite representing a state school that pledges to maintain a two-thirds ratio of Virginians, the program’s in-state recruitment numbers have waned in the last few years — right now, there is just one Virginian on the team. But high school junior Brayden Johnston — the Cavaliers’ new recruit in the class of 2027 — just changed that.
Nine Virginia Senate Democrats filed a lawsuit against the rectors of three state universities Tuesday, including University Board Rector Robert Hardie. The lawsuit is the Democrats’ next step in the political standoff regarding the legitimacy of the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee’s vote to deny eight of Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s appointees to university boards June 10.
Charlottesville’s robust transportation system is one of the strongest achievements of the city. Charlottesville Area Transport, the University Transportation Service and Airbus are all readily available for students to navigate within and outside of the city comfortably without their own car. However, the Federal Department of Transportation is set to undergo significant deregulation after President Donald Trump’s addition of two new executive orders in February of 2025. These regulations are characterized by the removal of environmental regulations, reduction in funding and slashing of jobs in the department. These significant changes will threaten students’ ability to utilize public transportation throughout the city and Virginia if unchecked.

Life is not easy being a submarine sandwich investigative journalist. The sandwich game is dry in Charlottesville — the old joints are vanishing, and every cohort of first-years endures more bowl-based food. Slop in a trough. All my buddies have moved onto bigger and better things — bagels, for example. But as a longtime Subway fanatic myself, it was a dream come true to have a woman in a comically large hat strut into The Cavalier Daily office. The cigarette butt lazily hanging off my lips nearly fell to the floor when she exclaimed that she had a story. A sandwich story.

In the first three years under Coach Tony Elliott, Virginia has missed out on a bowl game. Last year, the Cavaliers started 4-1 only to finish with a 5-7 record — missing the six-win threshold for a bowl game appearance.
Every day of the academic year, dining halls on Grounds and nearby restaurants are filled with the familiar sounds of plates clanging, forks scraping and vibrant student conversation. During their time at the University, students must navigate an intricate food system on and off Grounds.
Released in theaters nationwide on June 13, A24’s proverbial second date with Celine Song features the triumvirate of Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal in a glossy meditation on the perils and pitfalls of modern dating. “Materialists” is incredibly pleasant to look at –– which makes sense for a film about beautiful people and beautiful things, and the natural desire thereof –– but often falls short of holding any deeper meaning.
