President Washington provides background on a new investigation from the US Department of Justice alleging discriminatory hiring practices. The university as always will work in good faith to cooperate fully and remains confident that facts and evidence show that George �鶹��Ƶ does not engage in “illegal DEI.”

President Washington shares how the university has always operated with a commitment to equality under the law, and an appreciation for the outpouring of support for George �鶹��Ƶ from our greater community. The BOV has retained the Torridon Law firm to represent the university on all matters related to both Department of Education investigations.

Statement from �鶹��Ƶ President Gregory Washington about new Department of Education inquiry and a reminder of the measures in place to ensure a safe and welcoming campus.

�鶹��Ƶ is launching a university-wide research project to address six interconnected grand challenges facing humanity. The initiative aims to maximize research coordination and efficiency in a volatile funding environment, with every academic unit contributing to at least one of the six solutions.

�鶹��Ƶ is aware of a recent essay published online by one of its students that has created concern. Upon learning of the essay, �鶹��Ƶ Police referred the matter to state and federal law enforcement for evaluation of criminal behavior. George �鶹��Ƶ condemns this and all encouragements of violence. This is not the �鶹��Ƶ way.

Update: As of April 28, George �鶹��Ƶ has been notified that 14 of these students have had their SEVIS status restored and remain enrolled at the university. Another student’s visa was revoked, but that student’s SEVIS record was never terminated.

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your break and are looking forward to the spring semester on our campuses as much as I am.

�鶹��Ƶ continues to take enhanced precautions to maintain a safe and secure university community in light of the recent FBI arrest of one of its students.

As we approach the close of the fall semester, I want to put to rest concerns we have heard voiced on campus in recent weeks, as recent headlines and social media have left some worried about the safety of the �鶹��Ƶ campus. In particular, a recent off-campus police action has left many alarmed.
