Here at The Cavalier Daily, the 126th term is coming to a close, and the question of continuity — of preserving the progress we have made — matters deeply to us.
As the semester comes to a close, the Managing Board recounts some notable numbers.
There is no inherent issue with students subsidizing athletic programs; student fees cover a wide array of University resources, including services such as student health and University transit, as well as funding for Contracted Independent Organizations.
While the incident may appear isolated for U.Va. students, transportation safety — especially for interstate buses — is important for students since they frequently take low-budget buses. Inadequate regulation can cost lives.
Unless we see a new, strong vision for our team, we shouldn’t expect too much to change.
Under our current system, individuals in Charlottesville requiring emergency medical care do not need to worry about costs associated with transport to the emergency room.
As many other schools reconsider which figures they commemorate and how they do so, University students have not mobilized to question the commemoration of controversial figures at our school.
The push to prevent the admission of refugees demonstrates embarrassingly xenophobic tendencies from U.S. and Virginia politicians.

The creation of an advising center in Clemons is a welcome change for an advising system that has long needed improvement.
A desire to maintain — or perhaps, not further damage — U.Va.’s reputation likely fueled these attempts to intervene as well, especially in light of the three high-profile controversies of the last academic school year.
While liberal arts degrees have inherent value for many students, they are not proving particularly useful for all who hold a bachelor of arts degree. Some students are discovering that, in order to gain employment, they need to supplement their BA with a skills-based education.
Making necessary standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT more accessible may encourage high schoolers who may not otherwise apply to college to do so.
As October comes to an end, the Managing Board recounts some notable numbers.
While a 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. shift more than bookends a general socializing timeline and certain extra days are built in to this system, it is insufficient to hold coverage on Friday and Saturday nights, and not on Thursday nights.
