Laughing gas is no laughing matter. Despite its clear dangers, nitrous oxide could be freely purchased on the Corner to customers of any age — making it easier for University students to buy a dose than a head of cabbage. Still-evolving research surrounding laughing gas, also known as “whippets,” already shows the substance’s harmful and even lethal effects. Responding to mounting awareness of this fact, lawmakers in Richmond have finally rallied to stamp out this growing public health issue. The result? An ineffective piece of legislation reminiscent of the war on drugs, which, likewise, errantly frames criminalization as the infallible solution to addiction. Signed recently by Governor Youngkin, this bill’s simple ban on nitrous oxide is an approach that has been tried before — and one that continues to fail. What is required instead is an approach that addresses the underlying issues contributing to harmful substance use in the first place.

Ryan Odom figured, during the interview process, that the question was coming. It seemed logical, of course. So he prepared. He enlisted his wife to print out a couple pictures, and he had them in his back pocket.

This past November, the Virginia Department of Education gave out $12 million dollars in school security equipment grants, aiming to bolster security measures in almost 500 schools across Virginia. The $12 million included a catalogue of surveillance and communication technology items — items that would seem more at home in a prison than a place of learning. Much of the reasoning behind these decisions has been muddled by growing concerns over school safety. Last year alone, there were 331 incidents involving a gun on school grounds across the country. In Virginia, this past fall, there has also been a massive increase in the number of bombing and shooting threats. Unfortunately, these investments mimic similar ones from the past that failed to live up to their aspirations. While admirable in their sizable efforts to protect students, the efforts of the VDOE are misplaced.

Tucked away off Emmet Street and partially hidden by foliage, the Federal Executive Institute cuts an austere and stately figure, a landmark of many students’ drives back to the University. However, Feb. 10, President Trump signed an executive order dissolving the FEI, a leadership development college for public sector senior management and a Charlottesville mainstay for close to six decades. The institute was founded by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968 to function as an in-house college for the federal government, with a focus on leadership training and interagency collaboration. While Trump claims that it did little beyond bolstering the managerial class, the FEI was locally significant, representing a point of pride for the community and employing scores of Charlottesville locals. Its loss will be felt by both the University and the broader Charlottesville community.

Currently, over 230,000 Virginians are employed by the federal government. But that number is rapidly decreasing as President Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, headed by major campaign donor and billionaire Elon Musk, seeks to eliminate “waste” within the federal government. Under this guide of eliminating waste, the Trump administration has recently fired a large number of probationary employees — workers who are in their first or second year of the job or have recently switched positions. These uncertain times are particularly impactful for Virginia because it has the second most federal workers of any state.
