/1🚨BREAKING — AFL just sent a letter to DOJ exposing how the University of Virginia is disguising its discriminatory DEI infrastructure under a new lexicon of euphemisms to evade federal law.

/1🚨UVA’s Board of Visitors voted to dismantle its DEI infrastructure.

Same responsibilities.
Same agenda.
New titles.
