UVA President Jim Ryan has resigned under pressure from Trump's White House and DOJ & some Youngkin appointees on UVA BOV. https://t.co/hssVtjlaSM

This is a step in the right direction. University presidents should be prosecuted for their racist policies.

Awesome. Now do A&M

This is only a temporary fix as he will be the head of the new Department of Education when a new administration is sworn in. The way to end this is severe financial penalties to include the loss of financial student aid/ etc. The irony is after the Dems made Uncle Sam the only real option for financial aid, it can now be a weapon to bludgeon these respective universities as well as break the bludgeon. Universities should be the primary lender for their students along with the private sector. The problem with that is that they may actually have to go off of merit again and drop all the bs degrees and classes.

Nice to see something finally happen to one of these guys rather than all talk and no action.

Picuture is kind of misleading. Should have used the one where he is dong the Black Panthers power salute !!
Well, live and learn as they say. /Sarc off

Apparently Ryan was charged with removing DEI from UVA,

Quote:

---

UVA was attempting to hide its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) infrastructure and keep it operational in secret, violating the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act for racial discrimination.

Quote:

Despite a vote from the school's Board of Visitors demanding that the UVA administration dismantle DEI, Ryan was slow-walking the process, rebranding instead of eradicating, and refusing to prove that the ideology was actually being dismantled when the Department of Justice requested that the university do so.

---

IMO, another duplicitous racist sexist will no longer indoctrinate the youth of the nation into the joys of intellectual, character and financial impoverishment.

Have we totally eliminated DEI?

Ann Brown, a co-chairwoman of the advisory council of Wahoos4UVA a group of students, alumni, faculty and staff committed to "viewpoint diversity and U.V.A.'s independence from political interference" said that after The Times's report on Thursday, there had been a surge in support for Mr. Ryan.
She said Mr. Ryan's removal would be "extremely damaging" to the university.
"But this also isn't about one man," Ms. Brown, who graduated from the university in 1974 and its law school in 1977, said in a text message. "It would be a symbolic surrender of the university's autonomy and commitment to free inquiry that, if allowed to stand by the Board of Visitors and Virginia's elected officials, would send a chilling message: that public universities in Virginia serve political agendas, not the commonwealth."

I love how these hypocrites claim eliminating DEI 'serves a political agenda' while ignoring the fact that DEI is indoctrination of a political agenda!

Can't do DEI anymore dummy! You fully deserve this.

I suspect this is occurring in a lot of Universities across the nation. The leftists in academia aren't going to give it up without a fight. Not sure it isn't happening at A&M.

It blows my mind they've only had 9 presidents since it's founding.

This! If it's not merit based, then it's a political agenda by definition.

The CIA will just direct forces/funds elsewhere to maintain control.

Here's a CIA memo from 1967 showing the CIA's active effort to steer the policy direction and ideology of the senior leadership of the National Education Association. https://t.co/TjIYkVA09A pic.twitter.com/OeTa3hqPRc

The CIA needs to be cut back to at least a level of only 5 percent of its current operating budget/staff levels.

ETA, pasted the wrong post up above, but whatever, it's related.

How The CIA Created The Modern Universities. Going over declassified CIA files, I show the CIA directly arranging funding from the NGOplex to fund political science, social science, history, psychology, economics & area studies starting 75 years ago when the CIA first began. pic.twitter.com/ojZsShtsrg

So the CIA has been using the Russian "how to demoralize a nation" playbook on its own citizens. Just sad.

University presidents - especially in red states - should be purging their social media AND watching their backs. Any leftist protests that get out of hand are the kiss of death. And red states governors need to continue cleaning house. Academia in America went unchecked and WAY to far left for far too long.

DEI is certainly racist.

We have laws, are proud to be American and guess what... we will come after you for breaking laws
