The #UniversityOfVirginia, facing immense pressure from the White House, struck a deal with the #Trump admin on Wednesday that removed, at least temporarily, the threat of a federal *investigation*.

The #DOJ announced the deal. It was the first time a public #university had cut a far-reaching agreement with the Trump admin, which is carrying out an extraordinary campaign to shift the ideological tilt of the higher #education system.
