In a press release, UVa has announced they’re providing at least one benefit to same-sex couples:
Effective immediately, current full-time students, as well as faculty and staff members who are eligible for University benefits, will be able to sponsor one adult (18 years or older) who resides in the same household for a University Recreation membership. All other existing policies related to membership, including family membership, remain unchanged.
The Plus One program is being implemented as a result of a recent opinion — issued June 7, 2007 — by Virginia Attorney General Robert F. McDonnell. The opinion, which was requested by the University, states “the University of Virginia is authorized to provide a recreational gym membership to an adult who is not a spouse and who lives in the household of an employee or student.”
It looks like both the university and McDonnell are treating this gingerly.
The Superette has been sold — the landmark gas station is being turned into a shopping center. Thank god; if there’s one thing we need, it’s another shopping center. #
Remember the sinkhole that opened up on 29 near Hollymead last year? Remember that it had opened up the year before that? Last time around they repaired it in something like three days, and I’d suggested a week might be better if they could fix it for good. NBC-29 reports that that the same sinkhole has opened again. One lane of southbound traffic is shut down.
Planned Parenthood is having an 80s-themed prom on Friday the 22nd at the Satellite Ballroom. I went to prom in 1997, so maybe I should hold out for a 90s-themed prom. #
