Student veterans at the University of Virginia are claiming the school is taking a step back from promises made to support veterans, CBS 19 News reported.
The criticism was prompted by UVA suddenly replacing part of their student veterans' center – established in 2021 – with a dean's office.
"They've taken our space without notifying or consulting us," said student veteran Romeo Sarmiento. The school removed the TV, the meeting room table, and service flags on the walls, he said.
Sarmiento has created a petition for the issue, "Reclaim the Veteran Student Center at the University of Virginia.” It claims that the Student Veterans of America's UVA chapter has asked the school to explain.
