University of Virginia dissolves DEI Office

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) – The University of Virginia no longer has an Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
A resolution unanimously voted in by the University’s Board of Visitors Friday, brings them into compliance with President Trump’s executive order titled, “Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.”
The two-page resolution from UVa says this decision also comes after getting a letter from the U.S. Department of Education to all educational institutions that receive federal funding.
Virginia’s Governor, Glen Youngkin, praised the university for the move, saying, “The Board of Visitors voted for common sense, saying ‘no’ to illegal discrimination and ‘yes’ to merit-based opportunity.”
