UVa abolishes DEI Office
UVa's Board of Visitors Friday voted to abolish its DEI Office, citing Trump's executive order calling for cuts to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

The University of Virginia's governing Board of Visitors has ordered the school's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Office be dissolved.
In a resolution calling for the office's abolition unanimously approved Friday, the board said the move would align UVa with a White House executive order calling for cuts to DEI programs at schools as well as a U.S. Department of Education letter doing the same.

The two-page resolution directs UVa to dissolve its main DEI Office, along with its Center for Community Partnerships. Permissible programs that do not conflict with the directives should be transferred to "a new organizational home," the resolution reads.
The resolution further said that "faculty, staff and students doing legally permissible research and activities should proceed as normal."
It was not clear Friday how many UVa employees the resolution will affect, if all of those positions would be terminated or if employees would be transferred into other roles.
