Yet beyond my belief that the language requirement is unfair to students because of its relatively high opportunity cost, the requirement is also unfair to Spanish professors. The College mandate ensures that every classroom from the 1010 to the 2020 level is filled with a high percentage of students devoid of any desire to be there.
Politicians, especially those who have access to perks like state-owned planes, often walk a difficult line between private and public use of their state-given resources.
As we aim to address climate change in the coming years, we must more seriously consider Native American peoples to avoid the destruction of both their communities and their cultural heritage.
If you expect to rid students of their biases against others by essentially telling them “Don’t do this because it’s bad and hurts people’s feelings,” then you clearly misunderstand the nature of bigotry. Grounds for Discussion’s audience does not consist of malleable toddlers.
While there are valid criticisms of Obama’s plan, his search tool is a welcome development for struggling families and students. Student loan debt in the United States has reached $1.2 trillion, but the new data the administration has released shows whether college graduates are successfully repaying their loans, giving students insight into whether a given school’s loan program will be financially feasible for them.
Despite what some professors say, computers can be a great resource in class. Typed notes are more flexible, letting students organize them in a sensible way.
After nearly nine months of media attention and millions of dollars of independent investigation and court costs, the NFL’s “Deflategate” scandal has seemingly come to an end. Last week, federal Judge Richard M.
Few leaders have even acknowledged climate change as a possible contributor to immigration issues, and practically no leader has taken any action on climate change in relation to fixing migration issues.
Christianity is less about negative morality (what we shouldn’t do) and more about what we should do: love each other, protect our natural environment and help the poor. Unfortunately, the Republican Party focuses far less on the evils of poverty than it does about the perceived dangers of gay marriage.
I am glad our police officers regard student safety with such great importance, but I am troubled by what appears to be an inequitable enforcement of laws in Charlottesville.
As a public school, the University of Virginia stands out amongst the elite, private institutions it competes against as more financially accessible to residents of its state. But though the University offers comparatively reasonable in-state tuition prices — subsidized by larger out-of-state tuition — this model still can’t make up for the unequal implications of education costs.
Herein lies the problem: research has proven American citizens are not treated equally by medical practitioners. The body of research on this issue is immense and covers the disparities in health treatment across a variety of different demographics, including ethnic groups that are sometimes overlooked by civil rights activists.
As I was completing it, I found the majority of the videos were easy to skip entirely, and most sections could be clicked through quickly without actually reading or listening to any information.
The Chinese model, though deserving of criticism, has substantial strengths that have fueled its rise politically, economically and militarily without the prescribed democratic liberalization. China’s success can be attributed to the ability of its leaders to work without scrutiny and plan for China’s future without pressure from forthcoming elections.
To assert a broken community of trust is to neglect the agents seeking to promote other facets of the kaleidoscopic “University culture”: the cultures of empathy, of curiosity, of art and burgeoning social consciousness. The efforts of these individuals may be obscured by the overwhelming tendency at this University to reject the fluid and multidimensional in favor of the concrete and absolute, which is easier to comprehend.
The General Assembly’s propensity to draw unfair district maps is already troubling, but it is especially troubling that legislators would essentially ignore a court order to address this inequality.
Retail store Natty Beau, a recent addition to the string of shops in the Corner area where many students eat and socialize, currently has a window display meant to entice its young clientele, featuring crumpled red solo cups scattered along the floor under its mannequins.
Right now students can only purchase set meal plans that have little customization to them. This drives many people away from buying a meal plan altogether.
Administrators at New York University have devised a unique solution to the issue of collecting criminal record information on university applications. In May, NYU updated its admissions policy, postponing admissions reviewers’ ability to view applicants’ criminal records.
Personally, I find it much easier to stay alert during lectures in Rice Hall than in Thornton, and I’m willing to attribute that fact directly to the facilities. Put generally, it’s not quite fitting to study the forefront of science and technology in a building that feels incredibly dated.
