she has her phd from university of virginia. ank you all for coming up here and for helping us to wonderfulthis conference. i like to start by giving each of you the opportunity to tell us what you do at your department. tell the story how you engage with classified information and how that is challenging who wants to start? >> let me say first i want to echo those organizations for putting this together because i love having a platform where i can shamelessly promote and for those of you not aware or who haven't heard of it it is the official document history of us foreign relations arguably the largest transparency project in the eworld from 1861 with the reagan period and it is a series publishing 100,000 documents so when you hear of the premier at those are two engines of declassification but the third is the formulations of the united states so it's an important player in declassification i don't know if a lot of people recognize that and it is something where there is a rich history with the transparency element going back

[laughter] arsenic we put adam next year so he would go first. >> too bad for you. >> i want to say first thanks to everyone from the base organizations and for putting this together. i love having a platform from which i can shamelessly promote the form of an estate series. for those of you not aware of it or have never heard of it it is the official documentary history of u.s. foreign relations. it is arguably the largest transparency project in the world. we have published hundreds of thousands of documents from 1861 to cover it right we are currently doing george h.w. bush. reagan appeared is what we are publishing. it is a series we have a published hundreds of thousands of documents when you hear abo

and the same thing happened at the university of virginia law school. either the letter was intercepted or it went to joe. and then he then referred it to ted. but it was it was it was not like, you know, ted took the sats and filled out the applications and asked mom, dad for a $50 check. so the entered into the sweepstakes, get into harvard. it was all done at that higher and and one of the letters that they sent joe said, you know what, while it's rare to happen every once in a while something happens to one of our students and either for character reasons or school tastic reasons, and we have to we have to deal with it. if there's anything, you know, tell us now and we'll like build some barriers around it and it sounded to me like they were looking at his academic record, which was less than distinguished because he'd had a very cold childhood and his parents had shipped him around to nine different schools and cluding boarding school at the age of seven. and so he was not the greatest scholar. and they seemed to be saying, you know, okay, joe, we'

of it went to the university setting. and in each instance and we're still learning about the university of virginia situation, it seems like there was sort of a downward spiral and maybe partly because they didn't have the support services vowbdzing them that -- surrounding them that knew their situation and knew how to help them succeed when they were in high school. so the rise act, which you all have introduced, would take, if somebody has an i.e.p. it, would take that information from high school and not just make itier for them to continue it -- it easier for them to continue it, but help them succeed to the college setting. but how do you deal with that in your institution? this coming into a situation where you're brand new and you have three months to be an independent adult and make good cloises. maybe you have a past history that isn't known to anybody on campus. how do you help students in that transition at disaiskier? -- xavier? dr. wright: sure. so there's peer to peer training that we conduct. so freshmen are paired with upper class students who help connect them to not only the social side of university lif

he was president of the then named gay student union of the university of virginia in the early 80's. i walked together with him and with john in 1986 in a silent aids walk. crispin moved to san francisco in the late 1980 drawn to the largest gay community in the country. he had a long-term relationship before such a bond could be legally sanctioned as marriage with gay activist and writer eric rofus who similarly died way too young. he was thrilled at the law later progressed and granted him the right to marry his love luis9 years ago. my youngest son nicolas came out 2 years ago crispin and luis celebrated writing it provided a great path through life for the two of us. here is to a great path forward for you. crispin added in reference to our distant relative, virginia wolf would be proud. i don't quite believe that crispin is dead. when i hear something interesting or learn something new i have these half seconds thought i have to share it with crispin, but he is gone and i'm beyond sad about that and while i morn i also celebrate the extraordinary life he lived and the front row

seven, which was just published by the university of virginia press. and which had its origins in a come front sponsored by the sons of the revolution in 2019. participants then and authors here. and the others who were part of this journal or this volume all got together to discuss how women fought the that is fought for, fought against and fought in it. they explored women's involvement with military forces and their actions in defense of their persons and property, whether on the home front or the battlefield. in fact, we could ask and all of us have to consider is really was there much of a differentiation between home front and battlefront. if army were marching through one's community. indeed they weren't. they were marching through boston. they were occupying boston and they were in new york city and occupying new york. they marched through williamsburg to head yorktown. so war came to women and women went to war. so we are looking at that and contemplating what that meant in all of this. so we welcome continuing this discussion with you today as

, we did not notify students prior to november 1st and if a student did early decision to university of virginia't have known, we don't have a consistent process for all principals and staff. >> that commendation would help the application rate. >> there's a belief that it would help them. an application possibly. >> reporter: you have an acknowledgment this could have had an impact on student applications to colleges. this affected students across 16 schools in 3 counties, fairfax, loudoun and prince william counties. they are investigate and want to know if any students were discriminated in this process of not notifying the combination. stuart: better find out. shiwana nashayour son is one of the students, did it affect his application for college? >> thanks for having me on. my son goes to thomas jefferson, his notification was delayed. he didn't receive it until november 21st, after the deadline passed for early admissions and acceptance. we are waiting to hear back from colleges. we got a few rejections. that's part of the process. we are waiting to hear back from a number of schools espec

. >>> joining me now is director of the center of politics at the university of virginia, layly saabado. you witnessed this extraordinary four days of chaos and humiliation that played out for kevin mccarthy and the republican party. matt gaehz on thursday told reporters this ends one of two ways, either kevin mccarthy withdraws from the race or we construct a straitjacket that he's unable to evade. so it looks like the latter happened. what does this mean for how mccarthy will govern, larry? >> he'll have to govern in consultation with lots of other pool who to probably won't agree with one another. this was the easy part. this was the easy part of this upcoming two-year congress. does anybody actually believe there will be sweetness and light and not disagreeing on the hard policy issues coming up? also, it's as though they don't realize we have divided power in the united states. thei they are part of the congress. the other half, the senate, is controlled by democrat, and of course president biden, a democrat, has veto power. so a lot of this was disney land stuff, and i a sum some

jim: university of virginia. susan: and junior year was a pivotal year, why? she spent her junior year abroad in madrid, spain in the 1970's when it spain was really bubbling and lots of ways politically and there was a lot of anti-american sentiment. she went there, i interview a good friend of hers named mimi who lived with her and became almost eight lifelong friend of hers. and mimi describes the situation there, the protest which were anti-american. the community of friends who were appalled by american behavior throughout the world but in latin america. anna fell for a young man named ricardo who was an argentinian and who lived through the abuses of the government especially towards leftist in argentina. he was living with another family in madrid and he was very radical and influenced her thinking and her politics. she is a very young woman, she is only 19 or 20 years old. she is a junior in college but that was really a formative experience. susan: after graduation she went to puerto rico and there she -- jim: she started to believe in puerto rican na

the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia and the man behind sabato's crystalwe have some technical issues. he's on the phone. i want to ask you hear about this favor billet-y among biden and desantis supporters. do you expect that to stay the same in this new year? >> well, president biden is in a much better position. i think for him, it is entirely possible that if he runs, if he continues to be determined to run, he would easily get the nomination. maybe even unopposed. ron desantis can't hope to do that. , now he is way ahead early on. but they are at least a dozen republicans who are seriously considering jumping in. i don't think they're going to defer to desantis or anyone else, certainly not trump at this point. >> is there any room you think for an anti trump candidates in the republican presidential field? someone like a liz cheney aura chris christie, how would that candidate and of doing it? >> not well. look at the composition of today's republican party. i suppose you could argue that if there were ten candidates, including trump, maybe the one a

that happens in university of virginia, charlottesville, where jews shalt not replace us. happened in the lives of muslims. it happened in buffalo. by the way, to white people were killed at the buffalo grocery store, under the auspices of perpetrated white supremacy. the man wanted to create a race war. i think it is important that we be fair to the american people. they listen to us. i am really stunned that fox would, in all that remedial work that they need to do to make themselves credible, that they would take on the sensitive question of race and white supremacy. it is vial. and director wray said it was vile, and said it was the largest part of domestic terrorism. white supremacy. he said it more than once, and i set it in the house and that is what i said. i will not accept that it is about speech. is absolutely not about speech. you could be a white supremacist. the first amendment protects your association and -- you can speak about your views of white supremacy. you cannot be part of a planning and conspiracy that winds up in the death of fellow americans or ot

going to talk about this as larry sabato, the director of the center for politics at the university of virginia. larry, good to see you, thank you so much. you know larry, we usually see some turnover at the white house after the midterms, the president sometimes one fresh legs heading into the second half of that first term. but biden and klain are very close. this departure would come at a time when the president is turning to his expected reelection announcement. your thoughts? >> well, ron klain is set for a long time that he claimed to depart in the administration. this is a fairly lengthy tenure for the chief of staff, at least in recent times. it is a grueling job. people have said that it is second only to the presidency in terms of the pressures of the office. so i think that it makes sense. of course, wherever he goes, they are probably having telephones. so he could still be brought in for his knowledge and background. but it is a good time for a change. first of all, the first two years for biden were incredibly productive. top off by a performance by democrats much better than even

i waent to the university of virginia i spent many nights suffering as your blue devils applied weaponsyou. >> it's my honor thank you for having me on. >> you are very welcome. >>> up next, more on today's market action. an hour left in the trading day, what you can see is a mixed picture with the dow under pressure the s&p at the flat line what is takings we ulor? we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two have any idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have a clue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting

. >> researchers from harvard and the university of virginia have created a test that can measure a person'sas. the idea being that if we can measure it, maybe we can dismantle it. >> and what they find is that people have a hard time associating good characteristics with black faces. >> is that everybody? >> it's about 80% of white people. >> yeah. and what about for black people? >> for black people, we're less likely to favor white people, but we still tend to favor white people slightly. right? and so, the challenge is thinking about not just what people's intentions are, but # like, how do you grow up in a world where white supremacy is sort of embedded in everything and you breathe it in in a way that gets into your subconscious? >> so there's a test, right? >> there is. >> i mean, i feel like i'm pretty hip to this stuff. is it smarter than me, i guess -- >> yeah, the way that it's set up, i think it is. >> okay. >> now we answer the question many of you had for more than three seasons. how racist is kamau? i would accept an invitation to a new year's eve party given by a white couple

entering into the university of virginia school of law. i take great umbrage with that suggestion.i am going to suggest that we have some problems that need to be fixed. professor fredrickson, it is good to see you. you have been before a committee before. i have already heard from the distinguish gentleman, mr. paoletta. it should be well noted that we do have a factual basis -- presently, before this committee, that the wife of a justice was actively engaged in january 6th. in terms of advocacy in other aspects of her participation -- for me, that strikes at the core of creating a more perfect union. the upholding of the constitution, that is a response ability of the united states supreme court. that that be very clear. ethics bounds us all. we walk in ethics. most aspects american interaction or corporate access sometimes they follow it or not. there are ethics on school boards. ethics in the university of virginia, having its own internal student judicial system. people believe that you shouldn't hear to the truth. let me first, quickly, go to reverend schenck and thank you fo

the making actually part and related to a much bigger project, the papers of george at the university of virginia and sponsored by the mount vernon ladies association. since 1968, the project began with the ambitious aim of publishing all of george washington's correspondence, but it's since expanded to include other members of his family, allowing us to know so much more about the personal lives and associates of this remarkable founding family at this time, i'd like to thank each of the donors of the papers of martha washington project. hold your applause to the end, because there are several the richard reynolds foundation. i'd like to particularly thank major and pam reynolds, who are likely watching us virtually tonight. thank you for all of your support. the dr. shaw foundation, the founders washington committee for historic mount vernon, karen buchwald, right. julia colby cook. jacqueline b mars. the honorable paul michael and miss p brooke england. mr. and mrs. c ashton newell. miss kate schuster. the h.w. wilson foundation and the mount vernon ladies association of the union. please join

you can purchase the book from the university of virginia on the essays that were given.o fascinating to read and to be able to see, even in 2006, the conversation that we are having. interestingly enough, there wasn't as much interest in that as it would be today. so, it is something that we definitely strive to really put forth, those conversations. >> i'm glad you mentioned that book, robin. all of the essays and there are brilliant, i can say that because i didn't contribute to it. one that i will particularly mentioned to people on this at this out here is by the late manning mirabel, who wrote probably the best overview of wilson and race that i've ever seen in a short, maybe, 20 page article. manning mirabel, very prominent african american scholar, biographer of w. e. b. to boys. one of the best critical examinations of wilson's record on race that i've read. i think, still the best, certainly in that small space. couple comments, just from the chat. people responded to this idea of otherness as a human, universal pitfall. and how it is interesting that wilson not

researching our hindu triangle had a great a very good book on nat turner scott french at the university of virginia, had a chance to meet with him. he was a historian. kent kenneth greenberg. and i got to start getting idea maybe i could put this information together and present it and some of the schools in the area, when they found out about it, they asked me to start coming to make presentations like i did at the high school or at some of the colleges and universities. and so it like a an accidental step into. but i made sure that try to make sure that the information was all and are your kids carry that down now let's talk a bit about that to a certain degree. i mean, they are not taking it on as like as much as i would like for them. well, you're still active, but i'm still active. yeah, i'm i'm still here. they have never lived on the farm. we still own our farm that we've had since the 1880s. they go back that far and the farm only about five miles from where nat turner originally. so that's how i knew about growing up in it. and so i'm faced with the dilemma that i have this property that i

dean university of virginia law school kill it everyday, the only way that you do it is to come together. that is why we are here together. >> all right marianne, what you think. and is this a moment like we face like in the 1860s we faced in 1950s. this is a moment when democracy is really a breath and if it is, what would you, how do we strengthen democracy. >> will exempt cornell is altogether you paste too rosy of a picture. [laughter] [laughter] >> the situations is maybe a roll in your conversation because on the one hand and irish catholic tradition and on the other hand, calvinist cover additional addition. at a special ability to see the market crowd, every silver lining. >> i. [laughter] [laughter] >> i think we all agree that everything depends on the cultural forming in the institutions of civil society but i don't think that we have said enough about the really poor shape they are in and before you can even talk about what we can do, i think really have to understand how bad the problem is pretty throbbing, you mentioned child raising families. i just read the latest pew res
