Doesn’t mean it won’t, either. If there’s one thing this administration has shown it’s that rights we fought hard for and won mean nothing. |
The law will remain. The people who compassionately push for inclusion and address compliance will be gone. |
In my federal agency, the office was DOGEd. Technically, Reasonable Accommodations exist. Realistically, there are few people to handle the requests and compliance. |
You are not - it may have been that at some point in the past but UVA is not that now. The diversity, academic focus, and opportunities for involvement in many different organizations are the things my daughter loves most about the school. |
This thread is so off target. Why do you all think Harvard, Columbia, Penn, etc., have had so much trouble with the current administration? Do you really think it’s primarily about the schools’ admission policies? In a tangential way, maybe, but not really. It’s mostly about how their DEI offices operate generally on campus with already enrolled students. You’re all just so weird. |
Same. |
What’s next?
It will lose some top name faculty It will lose some top OOS applicants who feel like they caved It will lose more top OOS applicants who just are avoiding these schools seem to be on Trumps hit list. They have 4 years in college and there are too many great colleges. Nobody wants this to be the headline of their school newspaper for the entire time. It may get a little easier to get into in state |
Many of us have noted just that. I think one could affect the other, though. You think the admission staff has not been required to do regular DEI training on things like implicit bias? Once that emphasis disappears, their decision making process might look different. |
Wishful thinking. |
Tell us exactly what is bloated and don’t forget to cite your sources. |
That’s the point. They want mediocre bow tie wearing fraternity boys and girls in pearls to return to a Jefferson worshiping UVA, not the highly academic forward thinking UVA that we know today. |
My DD is in a sorority. She and her “sisters” are up in arms now. Those girls sure can organize. I think a sleeping giant was awakened. |
*women. My bad! |
+1. Mr. Transvaginal ultrasound. Ewwwwwww… |
It will lose top in-state applicants for the same reasons. |
