CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — University of Virginia President Jim Ryan will step down from his post on July 11 and return to the classroom as a professor at the university’s law school and school of education, UVA’s Board of Visitors confirmed Wednesday.

Despite resigning on Friday due to pressure from President Donald Trump's administration and the Department of Justice (DOJ), the President of the University of Virginia (UVA) will stay at the university in a different role.

The Justice Department had demanded that Jim Ryan step down to resolve an investigation into the school’s diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
