The University of Virginia declines to sign compact amidst protests

The interim President of the University of Virginia has announced he will not sign an agreement with the Trump administration. The so-called "Compact for Academic Excellence" offered preferential consideration for federal funding if UVA and eight other schools agreed to change their policies to conform with conservative views.

Update. #Dartmouth has not yet made a public statement rejecting the Trump compact. But two Dartmouth sources "who asked to speak anonymously…said they participated in a meeting with President Sian Leah Beilock in which…she said 'she would not sign the compact as written.'"
