Last week, this Editorial Board was prepared to applaud Interim University President Paul Mahoney’s decision to reject the Trump administration’s Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education. The Compact’s ambiguous standards and requirement of continuous federal investigation would have proven destabilizing to the University. After many community members stated these objections, the University rightly refused to sign it. Unfortunately, the new agreement between the Trump administration and the University perplexingly includes these exact destabilizing requirements — unclear benchmarks and continued investigations.

Like many University students, my journey back to my dorm on a weekend night is often marked by the blur of naked bodies running across the Lawn to the sound of drunken laughter. At this point, I’ve been entirely unphased by the appearance of unclad strangers running wild at my school — a bit of a strange concept to explain to my friends at other colleges.

Although Charlottesville is known for hosting the Virginia Film Festival, the film scene at the University is remarkably small. Until recently, there were only two film production-focused student organizations on Grounds — the Filmmakers Society and the Virginia Student Film Festival.

Tame Impala — the Grammy-winning and influential band known for an eccentric electronic sound — released their much-anticipated fifth album “Deadbeat” Oct. 17th. The album, consisting of 12 tracks, marks Tame Impala’s first in over five years and showcases the continual evolution of sole member Kevin Parker as both an artist and a person. “Deadbeat” — although not without more flaws than Tame Impala’s fans have grown to expect — is interesting, fresh and bursting with artistic ambition.
