University of Virginia suspends tours that had come under fire for mentioning Thomas Jefferson's ties to slavery
The University of Virginia suspended a campus tour program that had been criticized for citing school founder Thomas Jefferson's ties to slavery, officials said Friday. The tours led by University Guide Service have been plagued by spotty attendance by student volunteers and issues with "consistency" in content, university officials said in a statement to NBC News.

A Welcome from Dean Kendrick
Welcome to the new school year! You are the very first students I get to have as Dean, and I am honored to take on this role with you. As I have been thinking about what good wishes to send you for your year, I have found myself recalling the things that remain constant, from my time as a student to yours.
Bucket list for incoming first years
Now that I have two whole semesters of experience under my belt, I have compiled a list of adventures that all students at the University should attempt in their first year. Incoming students follow a calculated template when making their posts — they share their intended major, what clubs or activities they might be interested in and, of course, that they are "thinking about rushing in the spring." While these wide-eyed incoming students dream of all those chill nights in, exploring the libraries and all the other typical suspects of activities that they claim they will spend time doing, I would like to prepare them for what they should really focus on.

Top 10 reasons to love and hate first-year dorms
Love it or hate it, dorm life is an essential part of the first-year student experience at the University. As a newly-christened second-year student, I find myself reflecting on the ups and downs of dorm living, from forging friendships in my Gooch suite to visiting icky bathroom stalls in Bonnycastle. Here are some reasons why I am both sad and relieved to now be finished with my time in the dorms.
EDITORIAL: May 4 was unacceptable — administration seems to disagree
We should all be able to agree that the end of the spring semester was far from ideal, perhaps even dystopian — administrators decided to violently clear a peaceful encampment and were directly responsible for the chaos which ensued. The University itself has acknowledged that the riot police, pepper spray and arrests were not the outcome they desired. And yet, given the recent notice which University administrators sent to students surrounding demonstrations and access to public space, we are left to wonder whether administrators actually regret the outcome. In fact, their policy changes suggest just the opposite. They have codified a series of regulations which not only operate as ex post facto justifications for their actions, but also set the University up to repeat the exact mistakes which they made on May 4, mistakes which endangered both student safety and the right to protest.

Men’s soccer buries St. Joseph’s beneath scoring flurry
It seemed for a while like a simple case of one team commanding but never fully separating, one of those games that never feels as close as the final scoreline. Then the eruption happened. Virginia rammed home two goals in two minutes and then another one less than 12 minutes later, turning a nonchalant affair into a 5-0 drubbing of St. Joseph’s on Thursday at Klockner Stadium, a game rescheduled to 3 p.m. from 7 p.m. due to thunderstorm forecasts.
These will-be ‘Double Hoos’ are coming back for seconds
For some students, experiencing the University once is simply not enough. After walking the Lawn in May, some Class of 2024 alumni have already returned to Grounds for postgraduate studies. Though these soon-to-be “Double Hoos” will attend graduate school at the University, their nickname represents something more than the pursuit of two University degrees. As future Double Hoos, these students build on a foundation they laid as undergraduates, expanding their communities, memories and connections at the University.

Faculty Senate discusses academic freedom, free speech at the University
In its first meeting of the semester, the University's Faculty Senate hosted Ian Baucom, executive vice president and provost, for a discussion about academic freedom at the University, including what free speech protections faculty have as both private citizens and University employees. Baucom also stated that the right to free expression as private individuals can mutually exist with the University faculty’s commitment to academic freedom, and that in the classroom professors should encourage free discussion, inquiry and expression.
