Three years ago, a mutual friend introduced Mavis Baah, a public relations manager, and Jay Jones, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates. Mr. Jones, who is currently running for attorney general of Virginia, graduated from the College of William & Mary and received a law degree from the University of Virginia.
(Commentary co-written by William Antholis, director and CEO, Miller Center) No newly elected or re-elected president has simultaneously faced so many crises at once.

Feminism is not about any one woman’s success; it’s about all of us being freed from discrimination and oppression. “Feminists support upholding Roe v. Wade. Amy Coney Barrett does not. Feminists support government policies to ensure equality and equity for women. Amy Coney Barrett does not. Feminists value the importance of affirmative action, environmental protection, and universal health care. Amy Coney Barrett does not,” said Jennifer Lawless, a political science professor at the University of Virginia.
The fourth quarter of 2020 gets underway Thursday, and Economics Professor Ed Burton of the University of Virginia says “Black Friday” of the Thanksgiving Weekend will probably benefit some retailers.
Robotic elements in laboratory medicine are not new. However, much of this technology has advanced rapidly in the last few years, while staying inside larger instrument and track systems that have disguised its evolution. In about the year 1990, clinical laboratory professionals started hearing about “total laboratory automation,” said Robin Felder, PhD, professor of pathology and associate director of clinical chemistry and toxicology at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville. But this hoped-for eventuality hasn’t quite happened, at least not yet.

The first presidential debate between President Trump and Joe Biden was a chaotic mess of bitter exchanges and name-calling. Political scientist and the director of Presidential studies at the University of Virginia Miller Center, Barbara Perry, weighed in. “It was a disgrace, and not the finest hour of American democracy,” said Perry.
Students not only received the tools for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math activities, but also the tools to be changemakers. "The two most notoriously underrepresented fields are engineering and medicine," said Dr. Sana Syed, a pediatrician at the University of Virginia Health System said. "We see inequities amplified to a huge level in the areas that we walk and work in."
The first presidential debate was panned widely as an embarrassing debacle a day after President Donald Trump and Joe Biden traded insults and vitriol for 98 minutes, leading the Commission on Presidential Debates to consider changing the format and forcing a broader question about whether such events are still useful in the modern political era. "My reaction was, this doesn't need to happen again," said Russell Riley, a presidential historian at the University of Virginia's Miller Center, who argued that Tuesday night was the latest example of why such events have outlived their value as a me...
The independent U.S. presidential election debate agency said Wednesday that it would move soon to tighten the format of the encounters after critics panned Tuesday’s first debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden as the worst in American political history. University of Virginia political analyst Larry Sabato posted a blunt message on his Twitter account: “CANCEL THE REMAINING PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES.”
Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, offered this criticism, and then later tweeted that Wallace had done an “awful” job.
University of Virginia Center for Politics Director Larry Sabato says the polling he’s looking at suggests the debate did not change a thing and former Vice President Joe Biden, who is still ahead of President Donald Trump.
With President Donald Trump refusing to commit to a peaceful transition of power in the event that he loses the election and clashes already unfolding in some states, political analysts are uniquely fearful as November approaches. Barbara Perry, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, also argues that Coney Barrett should recuse herself from any involvement of the Supreme Court in the electoral process, with voting having already begun in a number of states.

(Commentary) As executive education deals with the onslaught of COVID-19, experts suggest benefits can actually be enhanced by online learning (as opposed to merely being reproduced in a socially distanced format). Shaun Rozyn, managing director of Darden Executive Education at the University of Virginia, insists the benefits of virtual executive education models will be twofold: “Learners will benefit from more options, opportunity and personalization as learning is better curated to truly empower organizational outcomes. Similarly, organizations will benefit from more impactful and...
Larry Sabato, the director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics, has watched live every presidential debate since 1960. He says this year's debate was the worst he has ever seen.
The University of Virginia reports 45 more cases of COVID-19 on Grounds, and 42 of those cases are among students.
