Oct. 23 (UPI) -- The University of Virginia has entered into an agreement with the Justice Department to resolve federal investigations, amid the Trump administration's crackdown on left-leaning ideology at institutions of higher learning.
Both the University of Virginia and the Justice Department confirmed on Wednesday that an agreement had been reached. Federal prosecutors said their probes of the school's admissions policies and civil rights concerns will be paused.
Under the terms of the deal, the University of Virginia agrees to implement Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination, which the Trump administration released in late July, tying federal funding with its interpretation of civil rights laws that restrict diversity, equity and inclusion policies and programs.
The school also agrees to provide federal prosecutors with relevant information and data on a quarterly basis through 2028, though it will pay no monetary penalty.
