[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA made FAQs. I'm chuckling reading them. https://federalinfo.virginia.edu/

Did UVA break the law? No. 
Will UVA lose research grants? No. 
Will there be an external monitor? No.
Does this impact free speech rights? No. 
Does UVA have to pay money to the government? No.
Does this impact independence or academic freedom? No. [/quote]

But also:

[quote]Can the government still bring an enforcement action against UVA alleging civil rights violations?

Yes. If the United States determines that UVA is making insufficient progress toward compliance, UVA will have 15 days to address the issue. If the United States determines that UVA has not made adequate progress within that time, or if we disagree with DOJ about what the law requires and cannot resolve that disagreement, then the United States may terminate the agreement, resume the investigations that had been in abeyance, and pursue the remedies available to it.[/quote]

So basically, the trump administration can still come back at any time and claim they aren't complying. Which they will do if  UVA admits too many non-white people. [/quote]

U.S. Department of Education website:
[url=https://www.ed.gov/laws-and-policy/civil-rights-laws/title-ix-and-sex-discrimination]Title IX and[/url] Sex Discrimination

"Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX states 'No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance[.]' "

"Examples of the types of discrimination that are covered under Title IX include but are not limited to: sex-based harassment; sexual violence; pregnancy discrimination; the failure to provide equal athletic opportunity; [b]sex-based discrimination in a school’s science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) courses and programs[/b]; discriminatory application of dress code policies and/or enforcement; and retaliation."[/quote]
