The University of Virginia submitted a quarterly compliance report detailing steps taken to satisfy an agreement with the Justice Department, including shuttering diversity offices, removing language that could imply racial preferences, and pausing certain race‑specific programs. Interim president Paul G. Mahoney said the steps were meant to ensure continued eligibility for federal grants while the DOJ’s inquiries remain suspended under the agreement. The report follows a year of DOJ letters probing multiple university offices and the resignation under pressure of a prior president. University officials stress the agreement contains no monetary penalties or external monitor, but lawyers and civil‑rights observers warn that the conditions set a precedent for federal oversight of campus diversity programming and could affect research and hiring practices if the department reopens investigations.
