You’d think that after nearly four years of college, I'd consider myself knowledgeable on how to be a student, at the very least. Just like me, you’d be wrong. As I approach the end of my term as an editor at The Cavalier Daily after three consecutive terms and especially the end of my college career, I’ve realized that I haven’t figured out as much as I thought I would. On the contrary, I’m left with more questions than ever before. Even though I've arrived so far and done so much more than I could have ever imagined, I cannot come to convince myself that I know how to do tasks. And maybe that’s okay.

Charlottesville City Council is facing a troll problem. Anonymous users virtually joined a City Council meeting last month to say racist slurs and praise Adolf Hitler. Quickly afterwards, this issue was resolved — through the removal of the virtual public comment option altogether. Virtual comment is an important feature of City Council’s hybrid meeting structure, where residents can participate in meetings over Zoom. Although City Council had decent intentions, the decision to turn the virtual option into a webinar does more harm than good — instead of a trolling problem, now, the City Council faces accessibility problems which limit the community’s ability to provide elected officials with feedback. Charlottesville City Council must reevaluate its solution to trolling in order to avoid endangering an essential platform vital to Charlottesville constituents’ voices.
