I have gone to Bodo’s Bagels almost every day of the academic calendar for the last two years. Being a “creature of habit” has always suited me, but my daily Bodo’s trip has taken this to a new level. I go every day at noon to order a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. I get it “to-go,” but I eat it there, and I use the bag as a placemat. No matter what changes in my life — with school, my friends or my love life — my daily stop at Bodo’s is one constant, always providing me comfort, joy and, of course, bagels.

“Whose side are you on?” A group of 10 University students playfully pass around this question before a buoyant piano accompaniment breaks the chatter.

In the past few weeks, first-year students may have noticed a unique table set up by Observatory Hill Dining Hall. It wasn’t Chi Alpha or the Hullabahoos but the University Police Department. At this table, UPD was giving a simple notice to students — we are going to start pulling over your electric scooters. These notices are not the first action taken against electric scooters, and they may not be the last. Rather, these notices represent one among many actions taken by Charlottesville and the University to recenter pedestrian safety in their urban planning. Although it is perhaps the bare minimum, it is nonetheless laudable that the University and Charlottesville are beginning to prioritize the safety of pedestrians, especially in an impressively multi-pronged approach.

According to the University, it aims to graduate a diverse range of students who have been genuinely included and valued in this community and who go on to become leaders who are able to face the multicultural complexities of our world. This language theoretically demands supporting Palestinian students, yet the University’s actions are at odds with its stated commitment, particularly amidst rising Islamophobia and xenophobia. The administration’s failure to condemn blatant discrimination only leads to more discrimination, fostering an atmosphere that misinterprets pro-Palestinian sentiments as support of terrorism — leading to a rise in harassment that targets Muslim and Arab students.

A slap, a push and a spat. This is not the start to some rhythmic nursery rhyme. Rather, it is the experience of one Jewish first-year student who no longer feels comfortable on Grounds because of the prevalent antisemitism that has only been exacerbated since the horrific Oct. 7 attack on Israel. Though the civilian casualties in Gaza are heart-breaking, they are no justification for antisemitism at the University. Despite this simple fact, the reaction to antisemitism on the part of University administration and leadership has been woefully inadequate — it has both failed to offer effective solutions to help protect its Jewish community and has also neglected to discuss the issue in an open and approachable manner that involves the wider University community. The University must better protect and support Jewish students.
