After Interim University President Paul Mahoney announced Wednesday that the Justice Department would suspend five investigations into the University as part of an agreement from the University to follow civil rights laws, students expressed mixed opinions about the deal.
The annual Virginia Film Festival offers more than just movies to the local community. Not only does the festival screen over 100 films in just five days, on Saturday, it also held a series of panels led by industry professionals. These panels allowed Charlottesville locals, University students and festival go-ers to glean practical insights from people working in film, including long-time director Rob Spera.
A spectre is haunting the University — the Rotumpkin.
The University finds itself performing a delicate dance as it navigates a changing relationship with the federal government — one step of defiance, another of compliance. In rejecting the Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” yet signing a separate compliance agreement with the Department of Justice, the University has tried to walk the line of maintaining academic freedom while retaining their access to federal funds. The question is whether that balance can hold.
The Virginia Film Festival screened “Ghost Elephants” Saturday, the latest directorial entry in German filmmaker Werner Herzog’s lauded filmography. The nature documentary follows National Geographic explorer Dr. Steve Boyes on an obsessive philosophical escapade through Namibia and Angola to investigate the mythical “ghost” descendants of “Henry,” the largest elephant ever recorded. Architecture Professor Emeritus David Phillips introduced the documentary, preparing audiences for the ruminative, poetic natural storytelling that Herzog’s art is known for.
After Virginia’s historic ACC title and storming NCAA runner-up finish in the spring, it is safe to say the No. 1 Cavaliers have picked up right where they left off in the fall.

No. 3 Virginia women’s soccer returned to the win column Sunday in an impressive performance on Senior Day at Klöckner Stadium. The Cavaliers (11-2-3, 5-2-2 ACC) defeated Pittsburgh (5-10-2, 1-8-0 ACC) 2-0, celebrating the program’s nine seniors before kickoff and riding graduate midfielder Lia Godfrey’s early fireworks to a much-needed victory.
It is rare that a film comes along that accurately reflects the scale and scope of geopolitical conflict of the modern era. It is even more rare that the consequences of these conflicts unfold alongside the film’s release and distribution around the world. And yet, Jafar Panahi’s latest film, “It Was Just an Accident” accomplishes this feat by delivering a singular story about the danger of dissent under the modern Iranian regime.
When Halloween parties give way to the Sunday scaries and the perfectly-curated costumes find their way back into storage boxes, one sweet holiday treat remains — leftover Halloween candy. From young trick-or-treaters fresh off their parade around the Lawn to University students helping themselves to an assorted fun-size mix from the Corner CVS, it seems that nearly everyone winds up with a pile of extras haunting the kitchen counter. But fear not — there are many delicious desserts you can make that will save you from the monotony of snacking on the same leftover candies you’ve had all season. Here are three of my favorites.
For women in this day and age, it feels like trends run everything, and unfortunately, the University is not immune to this. In the dining hall, everyone suddenly wants the same O’Hill protein yogurt bowls for breakfast. Crowds line up at the AFC for the workout circuits that TikTok promises will “tone” in just three weeks. Even in the library, the unofficial uniform — PARKE sweatshirts, Lululemon flares and Stanley cups in hand — makes it look like students coordinated their outfits over GroupMe.

Several senators expressed frustration over being excluded from the negotiations and voiced concern about the impact of the agreement on admissions, as well as the search for the next president and provost.
Ashley Brandebura, researcher and assistant professor of neuroscience, has discovered a potential way to restore a protein in the brain called the pleiotrophin (PTN) protein to normal levels in mice with Down Syndrome. PTN falls below the sufficient level needed for the brain to function properly in Down Syndrome, and Brandebura said she is hopeful her and her team’s discovery could lead to future advancements in human treatments for both Down Syndrome and other neurodegenerative diseases.

With the spookiest day of the year coming up, we are looking back on the history of Halloween on Grounds in this week’s From The Archives.
