Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin applauds decision on DEI departments

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has applauded the recent decision by several Virginia colleges to eliminate their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) departments, echoing President Donald Trump’s nationwide order. Youngkin remarked, „Discriminatory DEI policies are being dismantled across Virginia’s colleges and universities,“ highlighting this as a victory for civil rights and merit-based opportunities.

Colleges eliminating DEI initiatives

• Virginia Commonwealth University
• Longwood University
• Radford University

Virginia Tech is expected to follow suit soon.

Educational merit over race-based criteria

These changes align with Youngkin’s commitment to prioritize educational merit over race-based criteria, aiming to create an inclusive academic environment without compromising civil rights protections. While some alumni and critics express concern over the impact on future student opportunities, Youngkin maintains that Virginia’s transition reflects a broader movement towards eliminating illegal discrimination in education.
