University of Virginia agrees to Trump administration demands over admissions and hiring

The University of Virginia agreed to the Trump administration’s demands on discrimination in admissions and hiring, prompting the Justice Department to end its investigation and require quarterly data through 2028. The deal follows UVA president Jim Ryan’s June resignation amid scrutiny of the school’s DEI policies; Sen. Mark Warner said staying could have cost jobs, funding, and student aid or visas. UVA is the first public school to reach such terms, after deals with the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia and Brown; a Harvard agreement remains unfinalized. Graduate Alex Day warned the pressure could narrow other universities’ choices.
