“Ivanka Trump is trotted out when this administration wants to sound moderate. Few anti-Trump voters will be fooled,” Larry Sabato, professor of politics at the University of Virginia, said. “Poll after poll has shown Trump is poison with female college educated voters. It’s been obvious for quite some time.”
“I think there is something of a joke that lieutenant governors just wait around and see if something happens to the governor, in which case they would become governor,” said Geoffrey Skelley, a political analyst at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics.
The Democrats were less adept at rounding up credit for economic improvements and shaking off criticisms. “Part of Obama’s problem, especially in the last year, was that he was too understated,” said Larry J. Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “In every instance, he downplayed it. It was ‘Just the facts, ma’am.’ That doesn’t work anymore.”
“With high-deductible plans on the rise, many patients are required to pay more for their medications before they meet their deductible,” said Melissa Paige, Pharmacy Patient Medication Access Principal Coordinator at University of Virginia Health System, one of the survey collaborators. “Patients also have limited visibility into the cost of their prescription prior to leaving the provider's office, and as a result, are more likely to abandon their prescription at the pharmacy.”
Virginia lawmakers are expected to fill an open seat this month on a state board that could determine whether the state becomes a regional leader on renewable energy, energy efficiency and grid modernization. “The State Corporation Commission is where the rubber meets the road,” says Cale Jaffe, director of the Environmental and Regulatory Law Clinic at the University of Virginia.
“If I were the folks thinking about participating [In the Unite the Right 2 rally in Washington], I could be quite worried that my participation could link me to violent activity that violates civil rights,” says Richard Schragger, who specializes in Constitutional and local government law at the University of Virginia School of Law. “Even if you’re exercising your First Amendment rights, you’re responsible for the outcomes.”
Residents of Sag Harbor Hills, Azurest, and Ninevah Beach, predominately black neighborhoods popularly known as SANS, cheered when they learned on Saturday that their communities are eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. Julian Adams of the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, in the audience at Guild Hall’s John Drew Theater for a talk by Andrew W.

Brandon L. Garrett, a professor at the University of Virginia School of law who has researched and written extensively about the wrongful convictions of innocent persons, wrote that he strongly favors changing the way business is done now.

The religious icons and imagery found in the lobbies of most Catholic hospitals have decreased markedly in recent years, said Barbra Mann Wall, a professor of nursing at the University of Virginia and the author of a history of Catholic hospitals in the United States.

(Commentary) There's a compelling opinion piece in The Chronicle of Higher Education Review this week titled "The University Run Amok!" Adam Daniel and Chad Wellmon, both employed at the University of Virginia, warn convincingly that modern-day American universities have stretched themselves too thin trying to provide services that, the authors argue, were once provided elsewhere.
The FBINA follows a collegiate model, so attendees have core courses they have to take – like physical training and contemporary issues in law enforcement – but the rest of a student’s curriculum is primarily dependent on what they select for themselves. I took only graduate-level courses, which I regretted mid-session when I had loads of papers to write, but am now grateful, as I earned 17 credits toward a graduate certificate from the University of Virginia. Instructors are genuinely engaged and want students to maximize the opportunity. They impart information, but also facilitate the shari...

With a record number of women running for Congress, there's a decent chance that the number of women on Capitol Hill will grow next session. However, there's little reason to expect it will make Congress more bipartisan, according to a new study. "Women and men are first and foremost partisans," said Jennifer Lawless, a professor of politics at the University of Virginia.
1. University of Virginia. The only university in the United States designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, UVA is one of the oldest in the country, founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson.
