Virginia Democrats propose DEI task force for VMI, sparking partisan debate over funding and military legacy.
On January 24, 2026, Virginia Democrats introduced a resolution to create a task force to examine the Virginia Military Institute’s DEI practices, potentially affecting its state funding.
The move, part of a broader effort to revive DEI initiatives after their rollback following the 2024 election, has drawn strong criticism from Republicans, who argue it threatens VMI’s historic military mission and legacy.
Lawmakers including Rob Wittman and Pat Fallon condemned the proposal as politically motivated, while Governor Abigail Spanberger’s appointment of former Governor Ralph Northam to VMI’s Board of Visitors intensified the controversy.
The debate reflects growing partisan tensions over DEI in public institutions and the future of military colleges.
