Several student body presidents at universities in Virginia are demanding to meet with Governor Glenn Youngkin amid changes being made to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs.
The letter, written by student body presidents at George Mason University, James Madison University, Longwood University, University of Mary Washington, Virginia Tech University, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Virginia, Norfolk State University, Christopher Newport University, and the College of William & Mary was sent on Tuesday to Youngkin, according to the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Younkin’s administration previously asked to see syllabi from two state universities in order to determine if DEI was being pushed on students. Following the request, students protested the move by the Republican governor’s administration.
Following the request, VCU and George mason both dropped a requirement for students to take DEI courses.
