The University of Virginia reportedly pushes “diversity, equity, and inclusion” ideology in its “woke” Resident Advisors program, despite federal orders to eliminate DEI practices, a conservative group of UVA alumni reported.
One policy and education expert told The Fix the school’s practices are both illegal and immoral.
The Jefferson Council reported that the RA program emphasizes race and “gender identity” based on documents and videos the group obtained. RAs mentor students and enforce rules in the dormitories.
“Written descriptions of UVA housing policies avoid the heavy-handed rhetoric of intersectional-oppression ideology, but programs encourage students to focus on their racial, ethnic, religious, sexual and gender identity, according to documents and videos we have reviewed,” Jefferson Council Advisory Board member James Bacon stated, adding “those documents are only the tip of the iceberg.”
