"The Department of Education opened a Title VI investigation in July 2025 based on complaints from a handful of conservative professors. By August, the DOE had already concluded that the university violated federal civil rights law."
"The DOE's Acting Assistant Secretary Craig Trainor declared that President Gregory Washington 'waged a university-wide campaign to implement unlawful DEI policies that intentionally discriminate on the basis of race.'"
Joshua Kleinfeld, currently on leave from George Mason University, is applying for the dean position while his agency investigates the university for alleged DEI violations. The Department of Education accused the university's first Black president of implementing unlawful DEI policies. The investigation began in mid-2025, following complaints from conservative professors, and concluded quickly with findings of civil rights violations. The university faced pressure from various political entities, including the DOJ and congressional Republicans, amid a broader campaign against its leadership.
