Director Ari Aster is no stranger to taking on innovative projects. For example, 2019’s “Midsommar” is a drug-fueled journey through grief through the lens of a Scandinavian summer festival. However, his most recent film, “Eddington,” just may be his most audacious film yet, one that seeks to achieve a truly singular, albeit unfeasible, vision: condense the madness of 2020 and decades of tension with political and law enforcement leaders into a 140-minute runtime.

In a six-page letter sent Aug. 1, State Sen. Creigh Deeds, D-Charlottesville, demanded written responses and documentation from University Rector Rachel Sheridan and Vice Rector Porter Wilkinson regarding the events leading up to and those following former University President Jim Ryan’s resignation. The letter was obtained by The Cavalier Daily from a source who asked to remain anonymous.

The University, once a model of liberal education, is now increasingly prioritizing professional degrees — a shift that reflects broader trends nationwide. As a result, science, technology, engineering and math graduates are gaining on their liberal arts counterparts, both nationally and locally. While the natural sciences have always been core for the curriculum, disciplines like philosophy and languages flourished alongside them, creating a distinctive academic balance. Today, that balance is at risk. Ignoring the decline of the liberal arts risks betraying the University’s spirit which prioritizes exploring what it means to be human in the context of the world around us. With an eye to the future, the University must restore its vigor for the liberal arts and find them a place central to the academic and cultural life on Grounds.

There are more Olympic swimmers than humanities professors on the presidential search committee.

With students back on Grounds and the Corner bustling once again, I’ve taken to my apartment kitchen in hopes of imitating budget-friendly versions of Charlottesville's culinary offerings. While I yearn for a myriad of nearby restaurant dishes, no local favorite leaves my mouth watering quite like Ivy Provisions’ breakfast sandwich. Deceptively named “The Regular,” this dish packs flavor that is anything but, with its combination of a flaky biscuit, smoky sausage and sharp cheddar.

With the search for the University’s 10th president underway, students are voicing cautious hopes for a leader who will prioritize transparency, integrity and the needs of the University community. While students remain uncertain about how heavily their input will weigh in the selection process, many are encouraging their peers to stay engaged and make their voices heard in the search.

It has now been over a month since our University president, Jim Ryan, announced his resignation in the face of federal threats and conservative alumni excoriations. In this month of anguish, I, like many others in our University community, have found myself bitterly furious — furious at the usurpation of our University by federal administrators and at the cowardice of our University’s governing bodies who preferred to remain silent rather than protest this political takeover.

The Honor Committee met virtually July 20 for the second of its summer meetings and discussed potential bylaw changes to its sanctioning process, specifically regarding the roles of the Counsel for the Community and the Honor Offense Reporter.

Eight individuals appointed to serve on statewide universities’ governing boards by Gov. Glenn Youngkin will not be allowed to sit on those boards, a Fairfax County judge ruled Tuesday. Judge Jonathan D. Frieden said that the plaintiffs — Virginia Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Louise Lucas, D-Portsmouth — demonstrated that allowing these appointees to serve would cause “irreparable harm.”

During Jim Ryan’s tenure as University president, he pledged to improve the University’s relationship with Charlottesville and Albemarle County. At the end of his tenure, many of those promises remain unfulfilled, according to local leaders who have long called for the University to give back more to the Charlottesville community. Moving forward, these same leaders hope the University does more to tackle local issues such as affordable housing and gentrification.

“Practice makes perfect.” Odds are, everyone has heard those words at some point in their life. No matter the subject, practice is the first step on the path to mastery. After all, how are you supposed to achieve greatness if you don’t have the opportunity to improve?

Collectively, Virginia pass-catchers gained 2,748 yards in 2024, right around the national average. The players responsible for 1,908 of those yards, 162 of 246 total team receptions and 11 of 16 total team receiving touchdowns are no longer with the program, casualties of eligibility rules or the transfer portal.

Virginia football has long been searching for a star running back. The program’s last 1,000-yard rusher, Jordan Ellis, departed in 2018 — long before this current crop of Cavalier tailbacks debuted at Scott Stadium. If Coach Tony Elliott hopes to alleviate any pressure resting on the shoulders of a new quarterback, he needs to establish a run game — something he has yet to do at Virginia.

Ask any student who has tried to deal with driving and its assorted tribulations on Grounds, and you are likely to get a thousand-yard stare. Cars are less of a luxury and more of a necessity for many students. They enable students to get groceries, work part-time jobs, visit home on short notice and overall have a degree of autonomy of movement. Despite this, parking spots are few and far between on Grounds, whether for an event, housing or gym usage. While it would be unwise to fix the issue by transforming the architectural splendor of the University into a series of towering parking garages, change is overdue. As it stands, the current parking system is convoluted, and the University must reinstitute affordability and accessibility.

It is not often that a Division III tennis player goes pro. It is even less likely that they win a professional title within their first 10 or even 20 matches. But for James Hopper, who played four years of DIII tennis before transferring to Virginia, the path has never been conventional.

The hot, sunny afternoons of midsummer call for relaxing kickbacks at the pool with family and friends — and what’s a pool party without delicious treats to snack on post-swim?

With the arrival of August, thoughts of returning to school are coming into focus. Nine-to-fives, afternoon shifts and vacations are steadily flying by, and as the days turn into blink-and-you’ll-miss-it weeks, time allocated to preparing for the fall semester should also dot the calendar. Here are some simple steps that, come a busy September, you’ll thank yourselves for taking.

In the almost four weeks since the resignation of former University President Jim Ryan, the Board of Visitors has formed a committee to search for a permanent president, a process that will take time given the complicated considerations at play.
