UVA President Says He Quit Instead of Fighting Against Trump

University of Virginia President James Ryan said he quit instead of fighting the US government amid a Trump administration probe of the school’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Battling President Donald Trump would have endangered “hundreds of employees who would lose their jobs, the researchers who would lose their funding, and the hundreds of students who could lose financial aid or have their visas withheld,” Ryan said in a statement Friday.
