As
Hurricane Katrina unleashed her mighty
wrath on the Gulf Coast Monday, the powerful
storm left a path of death and
destruction evident throughout several
states.
U.Va. experts, including Jay Zieman,
chair of U.Va.’s Department of Environmental
Sciences, and Philip J. Stenger in the
State Climatology Office and James Rubin
in U.Va.’s
Darden Graduate School of Business Administration,
can discuss the environmental, economic
and psychological impact that such a storm
wields on not only the battered regions,
but the entire nation as well. Full
story.

 Late
last week and continuing into the weekend,
U.Va.’s Division of Student Affairs
and the University and local police received
and investigated numerous complaints about
racial insults directed toward U.Va. students.
On Saturday afternoon, U.Va. students held
a public meeting at the Rotunda to protest
these vicious and deliberate assaults.

issued a statement urging all U.Va. faculty,
staff and students to join him in expressing
outrage at these events directed toward
our sisters and brothers of color. See
