The University of Virginia suspended its longstanding campus tour service amid complaints regarding the negative portrayal of the university’s historical ties to slavery.
University officials stated that the decision was based on concerns related to the guides' attendance and the content and consistency of the tours.
After criticism from the Jefferson Council, a conservative alumni group, the University Guide Service, which was criticized for its 'woke' version of history, faced suspension.
The volunteer tour guides expressed a commitment to work with the university to possibly reinstate the service in the spring, emphasizing the importance of sharing an honest history.
