• Displacement commission funded for two years (kenbridgevictoriadispatch.com) — State lawmakers have funded two more years of work for a commission examining how Virginia colleges, including the University of Virginia, displaced Black communities and what repair might look like. Researchers are holding listening sessions, documenting families’ stories, and weighing remedies such as compensation, tuition support, and public memorials. Their final report could shape how UVA and other schools address historic harms.
