University of Virginia law professor Douglas Laycock – who specializes in religious liberty – said that, from a legal perspective, the Islamic Center may have been better off forcing the county to make a decision on the plan for a new mosque.

Matthew Crawford, a senior fellow at UVA’s Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture, believes material literacy makes people feel more responsible and accountable for the world. People without material competence live “in channels directed from afar by vast impersonal forces that we don’t understand ... that's why tinkering is important.”
Earlier this year, a UVA professor began providing day-by-day tweets of slavery’s impact on Grounds.
