PJ Flags AIM Utah Investigation in Next Stop for DOJ Amid UVA Civil Rights Agreement
October 31, 2025
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced a settlement with another university to address antisemitism and DEI-style discrimination in exchange for federal grants.
In a Wednesday press release, the DOJ announced the agreement, which requires the University of Virginia (UVA) to implement certain reforms and reject discriminatory standards and policies in order to retain the flow of cash from American taxpayers. Based on the press release, UVA is supposed to eschew DEI ideology.
UVA faculty, students, and staff are expected to refrain from violations of federal civil rights laws, which includes biased standards favoring certain people based on their race or sex. The press release did not detail precisely how this would be implemented or measured.
