UVA Declines to Join Trump Administration's Education Compact
The University of Virginia declined an offer from President Donald Trump's administration to sign an agreement granting federal funding and privileges in exchange for support of the administration's policies.
According to an Oct. 17 letter submitted to White House officials, the university refused the offer. This decision came after Virginia lawmakers denounced the proposal as
"political extortion"and threatened to withhold state funding from the college if it accepted.
The university's rotunda is a notable landmark, but the focus remains on the declined agreement.
