The Justice Department announced Wednesday that the University of Virginia has agreed to abide by Trump administration guidance ensuring the university doesn't engage in racial discrimination in admissions and hiring.

The move by the university is an attempt to bring to an end months of scrutiny by the Justice Department. Under the agreement, the university will provide the department with relevant information and data quarterly through 2028.
