Georgetown Law School’s dean rejected on Thursday a warning from the top federal prosecutor for Washington D.C. that his office will not hire the school’s students if it does not eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion programs (DEI).
Edward R. Martin. Jr, US Attorney for the District of Columbia wrote in a letter that his office will not accept any application for fellowships, internships, and employment from Georgetown Law students as long as the school continues to “teach and utilize DEI.”
Georgetown Law’s Dean, William M. Treanor, rebutted the letter as a challenge to the school’s mission as an educational institution that was founded on the Catholic and Jesuit principles of discourse “among people of different faiths, cultures, and beliefs.” Treanor added that the First Amendment guarantees a university the right to “determine, on academic grounds, who may teach, what to teach, and how to teach it”.
