Trump administration widens George Mason University probes
Share this @internewscast.com


The Trump administration announced Monday an additional probe against George Mason University (GMU), making it the fourth since President Trump took office. 

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said it is investigating if the university has violated Title VI by discriminating against students based on race or ethnicity during admissions or scholarship practices. 

“Public educational institutions are contractually obligated to follow our nation’s federal civil rights laws when receiving federal funds,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “No one should be denied access to opportunity or resources because of their race, color, or national origin, and the United States is committed to keeping our universities free of such invidious bias.” 

The Hill has reached out to GMU for comment. 

The investigation comes on the back of a similar DOJ inquiry into whether George Mason discriminated against faculty for promotion or hiring based on race or ethnicity due to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.  

Other investigations include inaction on antisemitism and an additional inquiry into discrimination in employment practices.  

“As always, we will work in good faith to give a full and prompt response. George Mason University again affirms its commitment to comply with all federal and state mandates. The university consistently reviews its policies and practices to ensure compliance with federal laws, updated executive orders, and on-going agency directives,” a spokesperson for the university said in response to the investigation regarding DEI.
