The Justice Department suspended the remaining five investigations into the University in exchange for an acknowledgment to follow all civil rights laws, Interim University President Paul Mahoney announced Wednesday in an email to the community. Mahoney said that the investigations were suspended as a result of an agreement with the Justice Department.

The four-page agreement states that both parties agree to protecting academic freedom, upholding federal Civil Rights law as well as an agreement for the University to be considered “no less favorable” for federal funding than any other university. The agreement does not require the University to make any monetary payments.
