Do you think this is a fact-checked checked news service? It is a discussion board filled with mostly crazy people. The post has already been debunked by a few sane people and the ones whose kids can't get into UVA will come here to make themselves feel better and have a story to tell when their kid attends some lesser school. It's all good. [/quote]

Here is the WaPo article: 
  https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2025/10/22/university-of-virginia-trump-administration-settlement/

What is there to debunk?  Is the WaPo somehow “fake news,” in your twisted little MAGA mind? [/quote]

UVA DID NOT SIGN THE COMPACT.  IT DID NOT BOW TO ANYONE.  On a separate series of investigations into accusations of discrimination - in violation of the Supreme Court 2023 Fair Students Case - the DOJ agreed to PAUSE its investigation while UVA sorted out the DEI-related problems with discrimination in hiring and in admissions.  THAT IS ALL.  Learn to read before posting!.[/quote]

"[b]UVA's president[/b] shall certify under penalty of perjury each quarterly report as to the report's accuracy and UVA's full compliance with all the provisions in this Agreement."

How good are UVA's lawyers? Interim president probably signed the compact because he won't be on the hook for compliance.

Who will want this job? Gonna be a mess for a while at uva.

Agreed.  At this rate, they may even fall out of the Top 25.  Oh, wait….[/quote]

Give it a rest already. Still sour you or your kid was rejected? [/quote]

+1. It’s all the Virginians who are salty that their “straight A” kid can’t just enroll. [/quote]

I’m the poster who speculated that no one is going to want the UVA president job. (I’m not the ranking poster, as I could not care less about that.)

I am an alum who is upset about what’s happening at UVA, about how little character the university has shown, how willingly they’ve scrapped any commitment to diversity, how easily they’ve put themselves under the thumb of this administration. I have a senior who was going to apply to UVA but isn’t any longer; it was never at the top of their list and we’re OOS, so it’s not a big sacrifice. But as a parent and alum I have no confidence in the school right now. I truly hope things turn around. [/quote]
