## Trump administration settlement with UNC
The Trump administration reached a settlement with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to close 18 active federal investigations and a Justice Department compliance review.
## No admission of wrongdoing
The voluntary settlement agreement does not require a monetary payment and the university does not admit to any wrongdoing or liability.
## Effective until 2028
The deal remains effective until the end of 2028, allowing UNC to maintain eligibility for federal funding.
## New compliance roles
UNC will appoint an internal 'Merit & Civil Rights Administrator' and establish a 'Title VI Coordinator' position in its compliance office.
## Elizabeth Hall appointed
Elizabeth Hall, associate vice chancellor for university compliance, will serve in both roles while maintaining her existing duties.
## Mandatory antisemitism training
The agreement requires UNC to provide mandatory antisemitism training for students, faculty, and staff.
## Face mask prohibition
UNC will prohibit face masks used to conceal an individual's identity, subject to certain exceptions.
## Color-blind admissions system
The settlement requires UNC to adopt a color-blind admissions system, barring race-based considerations in admissions.
## Key takeaway

UNC resolves Trump administration probes by ending 18 federal investigations and adopting a color-blind admissions system without admitting wrongdoing.
