Letters To The Editor


Opinion

Caring Americans

In response to Ashley Spink’s column, “Loaded arguments,” (Jan. 14) I would like to point out that her arguments, though well-written, are incomplete.


Opinion

Short leash on athletics

“Teresa Sullivan, please put Mr. Littlepage on notice that the clock is ticking and the leash is very short.”


Opinion

Calling all alumni

“[C]oncerned Virginians should ask their representatives in the General Assembly to withhold approval of Helen Dragas’s nomination for a second term”


Opinion

Written by the victors

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.”


Opinion

A dark cloud of distrust

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.


Opinion

Board member Glynn Key responds to editorial

Opinion

I was at Sabato's lecture on Tuesday evening, and contrary to the article which ran in yesterday's paper ("Sabato talks election," April 11), there were many students there.


Opinion

The earlybirds

I enjoyed reading the recap on Sabato's lecture last night, but I just wanted to point out that although there may have an under-representation of University students in the lecture room, many of my friends arrived before 6:30 and could not find a seat.


Opinion

Talking it up

I received a message from a friend asking me to comment on what I thought of Larry Sabato's event last night, so here are a few of my comments. I always love going to Prof.


Opinion

Homage to Salamanca

I want to take a moment to thank Sanjiv Tata for his insightful Mar. 14 opinion column, "Going above and abroad," concerning study overseas. I can recommend such study from my own personal experience.


Opinion

Please be seated

Anyone familiar with the numerous and sometimes tedious works of Karl Marx has come across his theory of surplus value, which says that under capitalism, the task of upper management is to find surplus values to exploit.
