UVA Assistant Director Admits on Tape that They’re Keeping Federal Funds by Hiding DEI Programs from the DOJ

EXCERPT:

TEMERSON: “It’s happening. It’s happening. Like, DEI work is happening. So, we’re all like a network of, like, one unit that’s doing this work and having — what we’re trying to have is, and formerly was more obvious, is identity development programming. All that stuff is still happening, it’s just much less obvious on the website because we have received and are concerned about receiving further complaints about our work. We’re doing more work to kind of hide them from people who are like outside perspectives that might register complaints against our work. Which we’ve already had. So we’re trying to do it on a more, like, quiet, but still like active, just not as obvious to the outside world. It’s just less obvious if you’re outside the university. Everyone’s working together to try to figure out how to keep the work going while also not eliciting outside complaints. So like, you know, changing like names of things like that, but continuing to do the work is, like, advised by our leadership to continue to do the work.”
