Last month, I wrote a column about the ambiguity surrounding President Jim Ryan’s plans to reform living wage policies at the University for both contracted and non-contracted workers. Since then, The Cavalier Daily interviewed Ryan about the living wage issue for contracted workers, but Ryan put forth no discernible plan to increase wages or support for doing so. Despite criticism surrounding Ryan’s inaction regarding this issue, he has maintained that the subject needs more research regarding its legal and financial feasibility.

If the University is serious about reducing influenza rates amongst the student body, vaccinations must become far more accessible for students.

In the past few weeks, Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh has been subject to intense scrutiny. Most notably, Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh have brought questions of his suitability for the Supreme Court. While the Senate Judiciary Committee has postponed voting proceedings in order to investigate these allegations and allow Ford to testify, his confirmation still seems likely. Given this reality, Kavanaugh's political and legal histories need to be examined, as many of views have potential to shift legal precedents and alter legal norms as we currently acknowledge them. In particular, it is important to bring to light Kavanaugh’s well-documented opinions about admissions policies for universities and private secondary education institutions alike, and how they could affect U.Va.
