[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"[b]The University" is a Old over from the address from back in the day. Before there was a Charlottesville. The mail just went to "The University, Virginia."

And they dropped the semi-formal attire at football games two football coaches ago. The frat boys still do it, but most kids are in t-shirts. [/quote]

+1.  Also pick up the Harvard Crimson - they will refer to it in editorials throughout as "The College".or "The University".   And the law school as "THE Harvard Law School" or "The Law School".[/quote]

Huh? I graduated from UChicago and we always referred to undergrad as "the college" and law school as "the law school." I thought that was pretty standard campus lingo? If the article cited is the school newspaper, of course it's going to have on-campus lingo as the target audience is students and faculty.[/quote][/b]

Yes, it's a stupid article written by at 19 year old student on the Cavalier Daily who had a deadline who didn't bother to check facts.  My DC is on the Cavalier Daily and says the op eds are "trash" and the editors don't edit, and the result is what some idiot posted here thinking this piece actually meant something "on the direction UVA is heading".   Everyone in grade school should learn to always check the publication, then the author, and ask why is the author writing the piece before ever reading anything.  It's too easy to get junk published nowadays.[/quote]
