CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - The University of Virginia’s Board of Visitors met to discuss supporting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives on Grounds.
UVA President Jim Ryan emphasized how important it is to stay open-minded with these initiatives.

UVA says it is focused on expanding these initiatives into the Charlottesville community and beyond.
