For decades, the University of Virginia relied on the student-run group, University Guide Services (UGS), to lead admissions and historical tours on campus. That changed earlier this year when the university ended the group's special status designation. UGS leaders saw the move as part of a larger crackdown on history and truth-telling that is happening across the nation.
Starting in the '90s, the group expanded the scope to include the more difficult parts of UVA's history. The tours mostly covered student life, but also the Unite the Right rally in 2017, in which neo-Nazis with tiki torches marched through the campus, and how enslaved workers built the school.
