Less than one week after a razor-thin win over Ohio State, No. 14 Virginia found itself in another game that would come down to mere possessions. A physical Miami program, in the midst of a hot streak, came to John Paul Jones Arena and took Coach Ryan Odom’s squad to the wire — the two teams finding themselves in a one-possession affair with less than 60 seconds on the clock.
From the ousting of former University President Jim Ryan, to President Trump's Compact for Excellence in Higher Education, to a presidential search which continued despite overwhelming student, faculty and staff opposition, the past year has been filled with challenges for the University community. At every juncture of uncertainty, student leaders are tasked with continuing the proud history of student self-governance by ensuring students play an active role in shaping the future of this University. The choice to speak up in the face of authority is not an easy one, but one that is critical for what it means to be a good student leader. Micah Andrews is the only candidate for Student Council president who has demonstrated a vision of student self-governance that prioritizes student voices and a willingness to speak out, even when it may be difficult.
In a letter addressed to the Board of Visitors, University President Scott Beardsley and the University community Thursday, 191 “concerned faculty” requested the Board restart its search for a University president and pause the search for University executive vice president and provost. Thursday’s letter follows a letter signed by 201 faculty in January requesting the revocation of Beardsley’s presidency.
The Board of Visitors convened at a special meeting Friday morning for their first session attended by the new appointees to appoint a new Rector and Vice Rector and discuss upcoming Board meetings March 5-6. Following a vote, Carlos Brown, Class of 1996 and Law Class of 1999 alumnus and previous Board member appointed by former Gov. Ralph Northam (D), was elected as Rector. Victoria Harker, Class of 1986 alumna and previous Board member appointed by former Gov. Robert McDonnell (R) in 2012, was voted as Vice Rector.
Scott C. Beardsley was named U.Va.’s 10th president Dec. 19, 2025. We would like to question this appointment on two grounds — that the process of selection was illegitimate and that Mr. Beardsley’s credentials are less than adequate to the position.
Editor’s Note: This letter was sent Feb. 19 via email to the Board of Visitors, University President Scott Beardsley and Faculty Senate leadership before it was published as a guest piece in The Cavalier Daily. There are 191 University-affiliated signatories.

In his 20 years coaching at Virginia, Coach Steve Garland has installed three foundational values of the wrestling program — focus, discipline and consistency. From 2017 to 2023, these values served as the backdrop to Michael Battista’s wrestling career at the University, shaping the athlete and man he wanted to be. Several years after graduating with his masters degree, Battista is back — instead of a singlet, though, he has adopted a role under Garland as an assistant coach.
Love took center stage last weekend as the Charlottesville Symphony Orchestra commemorated Valentine’s Day with their program titled “Romance.” The concerts took audiences on a journey through what the Symphony describes as “some of the most romantic music ever written.” Performances took place Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Old Cabell Hall and Sunday at 3:30 p.m. at The Paramount Theater.
In recent months, two major issues have distinctively marked Charlottesville’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis. While the recent winter storm meant quiet streets, cancelled classes and perhaps a small dose of cabin fever for most of Charlottesville’s residents, the brutal cold spell represented a life-threatening development and underscored an urgent crisis for the city’s roughly 200 homeless individuals. During these adverse weather events, many local homeless outreach and support programs prepared themselves for higher than usual numbers of attendants, with some of them reaching capacity. For at-risk individuals, affordable housing is an issue of life and death in such conditions, necessitating action. Even for those who are not at risk, the external benefits of such action can lead to downstream improvements in their own lives.
The general body of the Student Council gathered Tuesday to hear various updates from the Executive Board and representatives. Several individuals who spoke during the meeting encouraged fellow council members to vote and participate in the system of student self-governance at the University.
The air in Lynchburg, Va. was filled with raucous cheers on Wednesday afternoon as the No. 24 Virginia women's lacrosse team's bench and traveling fans cheered it to a long-awaited first victory. After a grueling opening drought against some of the nation's premier programs, the Cavaliers (1–3, 0–0 ACC) finally broke through, pulling ahead from the Flames (0–3, 0–0 ASUN) early and never looking back.
Virginia, fighting to keep pace in the ACC’s highest echelon, had won its previous two games by just seven points total. In those games against Florida State and Ohio State, the Cavaliers (23-3, 11-2 ACC) struggled to separate and build comfortable leads against teams they were favored to beat.
It is no easy feat creating a movie based in a time period of the distant past. Recently, Emerald Fennell’s attempt at adapting “Wuthering Heights" caused controversy in the media. Advertising itself as a loose adaptation — opting to put the title of the movie in quotes — its deviations from the original source material have caused quite the discussion. Costume designer Jacqueline Durran has stated that the costumes are aiming to tell a more provocative story, reflected in Cathy’s wardrobe of modern and old pieces.
The Lawn Selection Committee announced Feb. 14 that 48 rising fourth-year students were selected to live on the Lawn for the 2026-27 academic year.
