Also I’m sure they still consider legacy but it’s hush hush. And only legacy that give money and are active.

UVA will be even more of a white bro frat culture. I hope my daughters do not want to apply.

The forces that pushed Ryan out removed a university president by federal pressure for the first time in the history of the United States. Do you think they care and or can’t use the same pressure to impact policy in VA? Wake up
Of course they can, but why did Youngkin sign it in the first place? Honestly, legacy admission coming back would benefit my kids hugely. But if it means having to attend under the leadership of the Cooch, I think we’d pass.
Another clueless poster. The bump was never that big to begin with, and if you’re in state it was practically nothing. “Hugely?” Um, no.
Not hugely as in, “my kid with a 3.0 is getting in.” But hugely, as in, if it came down to my kid vs another in their class, the kid with two parents, a grandparent, and several uncles and cousins as alums would get the nod.
Legacy is parents. That’s it. Nobody gives a shit about uncles and cousins. UVA is full of students whose cousins didn’t get in. Get a grip. You are waaay overestimating how legacy worked at UVA.
Ok, fine. Then if it came down to my kid vs another in their class with equal stats, the one with two alum parents would be favored. Better?

Who’s to say it couldn’t be brought back in a new and improved way if the law changes? This is a new era

What “groups” are you talking about? Don’t be shy, say what you mean.
Use your imagination.

And even more women. Unless they do some kind of DEI for men.
More women? It is already disproportionately female at UVA.
If they get rid of DEI, there won’t be many men admitted.

That’s why THEY wanted him out. That’s not why DOJ forced him out. They forced him out because they thought he was only paying lip service to dismantling DEI on grounds. DOJ wasn’t questioning how the school was selecting students to admit to the school.
Yeah, that’s the fifth thing listed on that site.
Yep. This thread is full of racist and angry doofuses who see that Ryan was forced out and make assumptions about why without doing any research.
Huh? He was forced out for supporting DEI, but the racists are the people mad he was forced out? What are you talking about?
The majority of the posters on this thread only care about the impact of his ouster on admissions. On how it will affect THEIR kid. Which it won’t.
