U.S. Attorney Threatens Georgetown Law for ‘Teaching DEI’
Last month, Edward Martin, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, sent a letter to the dean of Georgetown Law School, indicating that it is under investigation for continuing to “teach and promote” diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
“It has come to my attention reliably that Georgetown Law School continues to teach and promote DEI. This is unacceptable. I have begun an inquiry into this and would welcome your response to the following questions,” Martin’s letter states. “First, have you eliminated all DEI from your school and its curriculum?
