Political experts said they were not surprised to see the parties trying to leverage the impeachment vote heading in to an election year. The House votes approving the first and second articles of impeachment were almost completely partisan. “The party committees on either side are constantly in attack mode against incumbents from the other party that they see as vulnerable,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball, a publication of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
Another researcher, Ben Castleman, said the low cost of texting campaigns can be alluring, but shouldn't overshadow hard questions about whether they work. "The inexpensiveness can be a distraction from whether these campaigns are effective when we scale them," said Castleman, a professor at the University of Virginia who's studied text messaging interventions that boost college enrollment and completion.
At the start of the decade, the U.S. was emerging from the 2008 financial crisis, which forced companies to be more financially conservative about how they invested in talent development and diversity initiatives. “Oftentimes, those are the aspects of the budget that are considered more discretionary or superfluous,” says Laura Morgan Roberts, a professor of practice at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business.
It was 37 years ago, on December 23, 1982, that a kid from Staunton helped pull off one of the biggest upsets in sports history. Tony Randolph, who played for Paul Hatcher at Robert E. Lee High School, ended up playing basketball in college at Chaminade, a small NAIA school in Honolulu. And two days before Christmas in 1982, Randolph scored 19 points for the Chaminade Silverswords in an upset of the No. 1-ranked University of Virginia and their star, Ralph Sampson, a graduate of Harrisonburg High School.
UVA ranks No. 12, and is described as having the “best specialization options.”

These heart-wrenching cases can cause doctors, nurses and other clinicians significant distress to provide care they feel is not only inappropriate, but also may cause patient suffering, said Mary Faith Marshall, who directs the Center for Health Humanities and Ethics at the UVA School of Medicine. “Health care clinicians are not robots and they’re not automatons,” she said. “And they have professional ethics requirements not to harm their patients.”
With a $2.5 million grant from the National Science Foundation, researchers from UVA and UVA’s College at Wise will look into equipping universities with a shared high-performance computer system for hosting research using data that come attached with stringent legal protections.
A report published by Tencent in 2018 says WeChat aims to embed itself in “every moment of the user’s daily life, from morning till night, anytime, anywhere.” Kimberly Whitler, a marketing professor at UVA’s Darden School of Business, says that it’s pretty close to its goal.
Way back in May – when many Americans didn’t know where Ukraine was, let alone the name of its president – presidential scholar Ken Hughes at the University of Virginia wrote about a congressional committee that had voted to impeach the president for defying congressional subpoenas. Hughes’ subject was Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal that ultimately forced him from office. But while those events were almost 40 years ago, Hughes wrote of the parallels between Nixon and the current U.S. president, Donald J. Trump.
Politics aside, the lawsuit raises a relevant legal question, says Saikrishna Prakash, a law professor and Miller Center senior fellow at the University of Virginia.
"I have to say, I wouldn't envy any Chinese filmmaker operating in the market right now," said Aynne Kokas, UVA professor of media studies and author of "Hollywood Made in China." "I think the underscore is a kind of perpetual tension within the Chinese film industry."
One of the fiercest exchanges was between Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana. “The Amy-Pete clash went to Klobuchar,” Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, tweeted. “Top-level experience & winning big elections matter.”
The passages from the biblical books of Matthew (chapter 27), Mark (chapter 15) and Luke (chapter 23) "pretty much agree on the story," said Douglas Laycock, a UVA professor of law and religious studies. "No one says that Jesus was offered a lawyer, or a chance to bring one, or a chance to call his own witnesses. No one said he could testify in writing if he didn't want to answer orally," Laycock told us.
“I think it’s fairly clear that the constitutional structure is under a cloud of doubt right now,” UVA law professor John Duffy told a hastily convened panel of the House Judiciary’s subcommittee on courts, intellectual property and the internet Nov. 19. Duffy warned that without a congressional fix, that cloud will linger over the Patent Trial and Appeal Board for at least another year or two.
A recently published study determined mortality rates of patients treated with hemodialysis were different for racial and ethnic groups based on whether patients received care in U.S. states or territories. “While there have been extensive analyses of [chronic kidney disease] and ESKD in the 50 U.S. states, there are few studies about kidney disease in the U.S. territories,” Guofen Yan, of the Department of Public Health Sciences at the UVA School of Medicine, and colleagues wrote. “The U.S. has five territories that are permanently inhabited and comprised of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Vi...
Novo Nordisk has joined with the University of Virginia in a five-year research collaboration where they will work together on developing virtual environments focused on digital simulations of patients with type 2 diabetes.
(Video) It's time to look ahead at what next year's General Assembly session will look like. On Thursday, a few members of the UVA Board of Visitors, two state senators and 57th District Del.-elect Sally Hudson held a town hall in the Rotunda.
