The University of Virginia submitted its first quarterly compliance report under a deal with the Justice Department, saying it has shuttered diversity offices, removed language that might suggest racial preferences, and stopped participating in some race‑specific programs. Interim president Paul G. Mahoney framed the actions as steps to demonstrate compliance while stressing that curriculum, research topics and academic programming remain unrestricted. The report follows seven DOJ inquiries that began last year and a controversial board resolution that led to the resignation of former president James E. Ryan. U.Va. says the agreement carries no monetary penalty and does not impose an external monitor but requires continued quarterly reporting through 2028; critics argue the steps risk chilling campus diversity work and signal a broader federal pressure campaign targeting campus practices.
