The Z Society is pleased to announce that Nicole Eramo, associate dean of students, has received the Pale Z Award.
Moving Final Exercises off the Lawn also undermines Thomas Jefferson’s original vision of the Lawn as the center of the University.
This will not be the only time the principles of our community are challenged. But, the takeaway from this event is that our community can face those challenges head on.
So we thank you for being you; for living up to the ideals set forth by Mr. Jefferson to educate others and share the blessings of liberty.
In recent years, a “tradition” of yelling “Hoos!” during the singing of the National Anthem at football and basketball games has become more pronounced.
In cities, traffic is normal. Anyone driving up 29 during rush hour knows traffic. Anyone who has been to DC, New York, London, Rome, Tokyo or Jerusalem knows traffic.
To the Editor: The March 6, 2014 article in The Cavalier Daily regarding the percentage of Honor offense reports filed against minority students sets forth a view by the Honor Committee Chair as follows: “Speaking to the possible causes of higher reporting against minorities, Berhle pinpointed three distinct problems: a lack of understanding among international students, spotlighting of minority offenses and dimming of offenses committed by white students.” The Chairman’s comment regarding “spotlighting” and “dimming” is at best a disingenuous assessment of the cause of the problem.

“[C]oncerned Virginians should ask their representatives in the General Assembly to withhold approval of Helen Dragas’s nomination for a second term”
“Board members…show that they lack the necessary experience and knowledge to govern a complex research University.”
Speaking on the University’s history of discrimination, a professor’s “approach was far from the solemn tribute one would expect for such a delicate subject.”
The Cavalier Daily should recognize that a push for voting student and faculty representatives on the Board is a crucial part of this dialogue.
I am disheartened and disgusted that Ms. Dragas remains on the Board of Visitors. She has betrayed the trust of thousands and soiled the University’s reputation worse than anyone in recent memory, and perhaps, in the University’s history.
