UVA's student government, along with six other schools, opposed the deal. Faculty members also expressed widespread opposition to the proposed agreement, known as the Compact for Academic Excellence.
"Faculty famously like to disagree, but not on this. I have never seen such unanimity among my colleagues." - Matthew Hedstrom, Associate Professor of American Studies and Religious Studies at UVA
- The compact would bar schools from considering race, ethnicity, or gender in admissions.
- It would require SAT or ACT scores.
