In the right
By Michael J. Smith | September 22, 2011As a faculty member who has tried consistently to support the honor system, I find the charges brought against The Cavalier Daily to be both mystifying and counterproductive.
As a faculty member who has tried consistently to support the honor system, I find the charges brought against The Cavalier Daily to be both mystifying and counterproductive.
Members of The Cavalier Daily potentially face University Judiciary Committee charges for breaching the confidentiality clause of the Honor Committee, part of the rights of the accused in an honor trial.
The recent Beta Bridge incident has provoked some discussion within the University community.
The Cavalier Daily article on the Virginia abortion debacle ("Board approves abortion clinic regulations," Sept.
I was fairly disturbed by your article titled "Students file bias report" in the Sept.
I was admitted as a graduate student in the quantitative psychology doctoral program at University of Virginia starting fall 2011.
I was interested to read The Cavalier Daily's recent editorial ("Fresh ideas," Sept.
On Friday, Sam Carrigan wrote a piece ("Accountability at the highest level") arguing that our legal system was not being applied to our leaders as it was to our citizens.
Dear Students of the University, It has been ten years since September 11, 2001. While most of those among us were in our early adolescence then, the events of that day shattered the bubble inside which our collective childhood had progressed peacefully.
The Global Student Council deeply regrets the recent replacement of Parke Muth, who formerly was the Office of Admission's director of international admission. For those who may not have known him, he was not only in charge of choosing which international students to admit to the University, but also acted as the academic adviser to many students throughout their years on Grounds.
I found Harrison Freund's column "Reversion to the Mean" pointlessly simplistic and unacceptable. He does such a good job discrediting his own illogical statements that it is a wonder why he wrote the article in the first place. Rather than present value investing in its true light, he lumps all its iterations into reversion theory, name-dropping great investors who no doubt do a lot more research than checking P/E ratios against historical values.
I can't be the only person to have noticed: The man riding the horse at the beginning of Virginia football games looks just like the Dos Equis Man. Can we really be sure this is a coincidence?
I wanted to address the headline of the August 31 news article titled "Report exposes high hunger rates." This headline not only is misleading, but also is not valid.
Thomas Jones is very close to running for more than 10,000 yards in the pros, and that's despite a very slow start during his first three years.
My landlord is intentionally taking away from the enjoyment of my home, and apparently I cannot do anything about it. I am a resident of the West Range.
Although freshman GOP Senator Marco Rubio rode a wave of young support to gain a seat in 2010, his lack of experience may be starting to become more evident. On June 30, in a Senate subcommittee hearing on Democracy in the Americas, Rubio referred to Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez as a "clown" and compared elderly leaders in Cuba to "Jurassic Park." Although his remarks may appeal to a more active, young electorate in the United States, these comments may have a different effect outside the nation's borders. At a time when the United States is engaging in multiple military hostilities, facing a $14.6 trillion national debt and competing with rapidly growing nations such as China and India, we must be more careful than ever in maintaining our diplomacy when addressing other countries.
This just in: Thomas Jefferson was not born on American soil. As his last name clearly indicates, he is an Englishman through and through.
I sympathize wholeheartedly with the members of the Living Wage Campaign described in your April 21 article ("Protest targets salaries"), and applaud them for holding President Sullivan's administration to account.
When we were marching around Madison Hall, with people at the head and the end of the troop chanting different slogans, a girl next to me commented, "It's so absurd," which is exactly what I felt at that moment. Why did I feel absurd in the rally for a living wage?
In his open letter to Dean Groves, published March 28, fourth-year Keenan Davis expressed hope that students and faculty would respond in solidarity to the recent anti-Semitic actions on Grounds.
