University of Virginia becomes the latest to reject Trump’s ‘Compact for Academic Excellence’
The University of Virginia has become the fifth U.S. institution to reject Donald Trump’s “Compact for Academic Excellence,” a White House proposal linking federal funding to conservative education reforms. Interim president Paul G. Mahoney said the university will not accept conditional funding, citing threats to academic integrity. The decision adds to nationwide resistance against the policy.
