The Trump administration's scrutiny of DEI initiatives reached Georgetown Law School when interim U.S. attorney Ed Martin criticized the school's teachings and threatened consequences for students. Georgetown's dean, William Treanor, defended the law school’s approach, invoking the First Amendment and the institution’s Catholic Jesuit mission. Treanor emphasized that the discourse among diverse beliefs is a core principle of Georgetown's educational philosophy. His strong response marked a significant stand for academic freedom, especially as many other institutions have acquiesced to similar pressures to dismantle DEI programs.
Georgetown Law School's Dean William Treanor reaffirmed the institution's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, insisting that the government cannot dictate curriculum.
Interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin's letter to Georgetown Law called for an inquiry into DEI teachings, threatening job opportunities for students affiliated with the school.
