Trump appears to have strengthened the Democrats' hold on many of their core states while loosening the Republicans' grip on traditional battleground states. This suggests that Clinton has the rare chance as a major party presidential candidate to choose the person she wants as a vice president based primarily on that person's ability to do the job and his or her fitness to step into the Oval Office if necessary."I think that's right," said Kyle Kondik, the managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics. "If t...
In some rural areas patients have little choice over hospitals. According to MergerWatch, almost 50 Catholic facilities are at least 35 miles or 45 minutes away from a competitor. This worries Douglas Laycock of the University of Virginia.
Kevin Owen and Will Mauldin have created and acquired FDA approval for this new technology meant to provide a faster way to deliver epidural locals.
It took a 29-day search to find the right man, but Virginia ended up mining new men's lacrosse coach Lars Tiffany on Tuesday from a familiar source. Tiffany, who led his alma mater Brown to the Final Four this past season in his 10th season as the Bears' coach, was named U.Va.'s new coach. He'll succeed former U.Va. coach Dom Starsia, another Brown alum and former Brown coach who mentored Tiffany before leading the Cavaliers to four national championships, but who was let go May 23 by U.Va. after the team went 7-8 last season.
A good place to start would be for Clinton to talk about how she'll boost American wages. She should "outline the way she wants to strengthen wages for the middle class. That's at the heart of much of Trump and Sanders support," says Larry Sabato, an expert on U.S. politics who is director of the University of Virginia's Center of Politics.
Supporters of forced arbitration say the system is cheaper and more efficient than the court system, where trial lawyers can make millions of dollars in class action lawsuits. “Sometimes the fees are three, four, eight times what the class actually gets." That’s University of Virginia professor Jason Johntson testifying before the House Financial Services Committee.
Trump has delivered a few formal speeches, including a major address on his foreign policy objectives that would “Put America First.” But most of his controversial pronouncements have been impromptu or off the cuff. Trump needs to start doing his homework and provide voters with a more coherent and realistic approach to domestic and foreign policy. But then, of course, Trump wouldn’t be Trump any longer, and he would risk appearing to be like every other candidate who shades his or her positions to curry favor with voters. That is why this third strategy is the least li...
(By Christine Mahoney, professor of politics and public policy, director of the social entrepreneurship department at the University of Virginia) My articles over the past few weeks have established the inadequacies of international organizations aiding the displaced and the lack of mechanisms beyond emergency aid to advocate for the rights and long-term welfare of refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs). When civilian populations are uprooted and displaced for years and even decades, with little hope of returning home or being resettled in a third country, they face a life of perpetua...
The U.S. News & World Report has released its Best Children's Hospitals rankings, and four specialties at the University of Virginia Children's Hospital were named. Of 50 pediatric centers that were ranked, the UVA Children's Hospital came in at 37 for Pediatric Cardiology/Heart Surgery, 38 for Pediatric Neonatology and 49th for Pediatric Nephrology.
Another, as yet unpublished, study from economist and University of Virginia policy professor Jennifer Doleac finds similar unintended consequences of BTB: "[B]lack and Hispanic men without college degrees are significantly less likely to be employed after 'ban the box' than before." She cites the same "statistical discrimination" Agan and Starr's study highlights. In other words, when employers can't see whether or not a candidate has a record, they'll hedge their bets and assume the worst—based on race.
Students at the University of Virginia will soon be able to use part of their meal plans to buy fresh food grown locally, the result of a new partnership between the school and Greens to Grounds, a non-profit organization run by students.
Dozens of local nonprofits have gotten grants through the Bama Works Fund of the Dave Matthews Band. Among the organizations getting grants is the University of Virginia HIV AIDS Infectious Disease Clinic.
A bronze historical marker in the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library will commemorate a landmark civil rights case that opened admission to the University of Virginia to African-American students. In 1949, Gregory Swanson sued the university’s Board of Visitors after the board denied him admission to the School of Law. Although the school’s faculty voted unanimously to admit Swanson, the board cited state laws mandating racial segregation in schools.
On Tuesday, it was Lars Tiffany who landed one of the sport's prime jobs after transforming Brown from a steady midpack team to a fascinating up-tempo throwback the last two years.
The University of Virginia's Miller Center and the National Commission on Financing 21st Century Higher Education released four new white papers that describe higher education's fiscal challenges and provide initial solutions.
UVA researchers Daphna Bassok, Scott Latham and Anna Rorem analyzed the U.S. Department of Education's Early Childhood Longitudinal Study.
The week of the NBA Draft has arrived and it seems Thursday can not come soon enough. This draft class appears to be deeper than recent years, as teams will be able to find positive additions following the lottery. University of Virginia guard Malcolm Brogdon will not expect to hear his name early in the draft, but will likely find himself on a team in the middle of the second round.
“For a large investor, there’s one unique benefit that no other asset class would provide and that would be a hedge against the possibility of cryptocurrency playing a disruptive role in global commerce,” says Peter Rodriguez, senior associate dean at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. “We’re seeing the possibility of that rising in small ways at the moment, but as is the case with so many other technologies, the disruption is fast.”
Virginia guard Malcolm Brogdon always excelled in the classroom, so it’s no surprise he’d enjoy test-taking. Sunday amounted to his final exam as a candidate for the Charlotte Hornets.
