“Ti Liv Kreyol” was created by Mayeux, educator Herbert Wiltz, and University of Virginia linguistics lecturer Nathan Wendte. An expanded second edition came out in 2020 with the help of an additional co-author, Adrien Guillory-Chatman. While Wendte was not directly involved with Woolaroo, he praised the app as a vital tool for preserving the Louisiana Creole language. “One of the most important parts of revitalizing a language is expanding the domains in which it can be used (e.g., apps and social media),” Wendte said. “This makes a statement that this language is not dead. … It is not just o...

Their research is already receiving high praise. “I fervently hope that Southwestern archeologists will adopt this approach and do so quickly. It just makes so much sense,” said Stephen Plog, emeritus professor of archaeology at the University of Virginia and author of the book “Stylistic Variation In Prehistoric Ceramics.” “We learned a ton from the old system, but it has lasted beyond its usefulness, and it’s time to transform how we analyze ceramic designs.”
“The degree of sheer violence has become extreme,” said Robert Fatton, a professor of government and foreign affairs at the University of Virginia. Fatton, author of multiple books about Haiti, said the unresolved political and economic crisis that has plagued Haiti in the post-Duvalier period since 1986 has fostered insecurity. “We’ve had moments like that, but I think we have a more intense moment of state incapacity to do anything about it,” Fatton said.
Louisiana is at the heart of a United States Supreme Court decision where the justices ruled 6-3 Monday that prisoners convicted by non-unanimous juries before the practice was barred do not need to be retried. The ruling is impacting roughly 1,500 inmates who had been hoping for a new trial. “One of the points we were hoping the Supreme Court would recognize is that this isn’t just a racist relic of the Jim Crow past that hurt black defendants, but it was also one that hurt black jurors,” said Thomas Frampton with the University of Virginia.
Rajkumar Venkatesan, a professor of business administration at the University of Virginia, who focuses on analytics, said the consolidation is part of a natural cycle. Streaming platforms offered an unbundled experience that could deliver on-demand content in a better way than cable packages. But now that those experiences are becoming commoditized, they're starting to rebundle. Along the way, some media companies once seen as major players — NBC and CBS among them — can no longer rely on their size. "These are big brands in the old world but they are smaller than Netflix and Disney in the new...
With consumers figuring out which streaming services they use regularly and which they can give up, that depth means a better chance they will use this new one regularly, said Raj Venkatesan, professor of business administration at the University of Virginia. The average U.S. household spends $40 a month on streaming services.
(Commentary by Christoher J. Ruhm, professor of public policy and economics) More than 840,000 Americans died from drug deaths in the past two decades, and 60 percent of those deaths involved opioids.

Losing the doubles point finally caught up to the Virginia men’s tennis team. The Cavaliers dropped the doubles point in the ACC quarterfinals against Georgia Tech, but rallied back for a 4-3 win. The same situation played out in the ACC championship against North Carolina, with UVa winning 4-3 again. In the second round of the NCAA Tournament, Stanford took the doubles point from Virginia (23-3), but the Cavaliers roared back for a 4-2 win. On Monday, No. 12 seed USC took the doubles point from fifth-seeded UVA, but the Trojans had enough singles firepower to close out a 4-2 win.
Christian Hlinka didn’t feel alone in the batter’s box Sunday afternoon. Hlinka stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning with no outs and a runner on first. The game with Wake Forest was tied at 4, and Hlinka had the chance to give Virginia its first series sweep of the spring. Two months earlier, one of his closest friends, Sean Hanczaryk, died in a car crash. Hlinka wore an arm band with Hanczaryk’s initials and number Sunday — as he has in numerous games since Hanczaryk’s death — carrying his friend with him during each emotional at-bat.

The University of Virginia also plans to follow the new guidelines from the CDC and governor. In an email from President Jim Ryan last week, the university announced that vaccinated staff and students do not need to wear masks or any other face coverings but that the new guidelines would not apply to UVA Health.
When the MBA class of 2021 submitted their b-school applications, they knew they were taking on a challenge – but they had no idea they’d be doing it in a global pandemic. To celebrate this exciting step forward in their careers, here are their biggest takeaways from business school: “Change is slow and time is of the essence. Whether striving for personal growth or rooting out systemic inequality, the MBA is only two years and that is among its greatest limitations. We have to start now, from wherever we are and with a bias towards action, to create the people, organizations, and communities ...
