University of Virginia President Resigns Amid DOJ Pressure

The President of the University of Virginia, James E. Ryan, resigned amid pressure from the Trump administration and a Justice Department investigation into the university's diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, which the administration sought to dismantle to maintain federal funding. The university's board had previously ended its DEI office, aligning with federal directives, but the DOJ's intervention and political pressures led to Ryan's resignation, highlighting tensions between federal oversight and university independence.
