After the University of Virginia Board of Visitors passed a resolution abolishing the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion and banning racial preferences at the university earlier this month, it took a week or longer for the University administration to take down the DEI web page — and only after the newly-fired board member Bert Ellis had made an issue of it with senior administrators.

It took three-and-a-half hours at most, probably less, for the administration to remove Bert Ellis’ profile from the Board of Visitors page.

Time stamp of Youngkin’s press release: 4:53 p.m.

Time stamp of The Washington Post article noting that Ellis’ profile had been scrubbed: 8:28 p.m.
