U-Va. selects interim leader following former president's resignation
The University of Virginia's board of visitors has selected longtime law professor Paul G. Mahoney to lead the school following the resignation of its former president amid intense pressure from the Trump administration.
The university's board met Monday to discuss how it would select interim and permanent leaders during a time of tumult for the flagship in Charlottesville. U-Va. has been the target of a Justice Department investigation over alleged racial preferences in the school's admissions and what officials called a failure to cut DEI initiatives completely, among other allegations.
