The president of the University of Virginia has resigned after facing pressure from the Justice Department over his institution’s alleged failure to DEI values, according to reports.
James Ryan submitted his resignation on Friday and posted an open letter on social media explaining the decision, saying he had made it “with a very heavy heart” and that, while he is “inclined to fight for what I believe in,” he could not “make a unilateral decision to fight the federal government in order to save my own job.”
