Never before has finding news and information about the University been so easy. In recent years, there has been a proliferation in both the quantity and breadth of new media outlets used by administrators and Public Affairs staffers. The scope of these new media publications is exhaustive.
Lawyers can be so much fun. Take Kyle Miller, who describes himself as "a skilled writer, holder of a journalism degree, and an attorney." Miller wrote to The Cavalier Daily recently to take issue with, insult, and, arguably, threaten Reed Arnold, author of a letter to the editor that appeared in The Cavalier Daily. Miller also wrote a short, accusatory and threatening e-mail to the editors of The Cavalier Daily. Arnold's subject was football
Student Council issued an executive report on its new Contracted Independent Organization consultant program Tuesday night.
Stress. For many fourth-years, this insidious word has already crept much farther into their daily lives than they could have anticipated after three years of relatively care-free living at Mr. Jefferson's University. "Job," "graduate school," and "interviews" have become dirty words while formerly harmless letters have taken on new meaning when strung together in certain dreaded sequences ("LSAT," "MCAT," and "GRE"). It's as if, suddenly, without warning, somebody flipped a giant switch in the basement of the rotunda sometime over the summer and the fourth-year class collectively came to remember that we will have lives outside of the University next year. Stress. Yes, it is hunting season again - the season of hunting for jobs (or even careers if we're lucky) and applying to graduate, law, and medical school.

The Board of Visitors' meetings Thursday and Friday were riddled with financial discussions. Administrators and Board members examined the endowment spending rate, talked about the status of alumni giving, looked into the new AccessUVa fundraising initiative and the increase in students qualifying for need-based financial aid, and grappled with state budget cuts.
Last week,, I wrote about the University's search for a new president from the perspective of a prototypical Virginia student.
I am writing on behalf of the University of Virginia's Department of Athletics to apologize for the use of an image of a Native American in the pre-game video at last week's game against the College of William & Mary. William & Mary relinquished its use of the "Indians" nickname and its American Indian mascot in the 1980s.
I regret to say that I have had enough of Mr. Groh and the substandard product he brings to the University.
This week, the College decided to push back its course drop deadline from Sept. 4 to 5 p.m. today. University officials made the call after many students experienced confusion with how class waitlisting on the new Student Information System works.
E-mail netiquette is the set of social guidelines that assist interactions across networks, namely the World Wide Web.
I am just writing to say thank you to Charlottesville's firefighters. I live on Brandon Avenue, and while I was not personally affected by the apartment fire that happened there yesterday, I did witness you all in action and your ready response to put it out.
Last month, this space was used to comment on the beginning of the University's presidential search process.
I was pleased to see Sarah Wooten's story about the University's presidents in Tuesday's Cavalier Daily.
While all Cavalier fans were let down by the losing score of Saturday's football game, I was disappointed by something else: the pregame video.
