The dean of Georgetown University Law Center on Thursday rebuked a threat from the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, that he would not hire the law school’s students if it does not remove diversity,

Georgetown Law School’s dean has rebuffed an unusual warning from the top federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C., that his office won’t hire the private school’s students if it doesn’t eliminate diversity,

Ed Martin, the interim US Attorney for DC and President Trump’s nominee to permanently fill the role, issued an ultimatum to Georgetown Law School’s dean earlier this week: Martin said his office would not hire anybody associated with the program unless the university suspends all of its DEI efforts.

Georgetown University’s law school should remove all DEI from its courses if it wants students to intern with the U.S. attorney for D.C., according to a recent letter. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, the federal prosecutor for Washington, D.C., asked Dean William Treanor if he had “eliminated” DEI from classes, and if not, if he planned to.

Georgetown Law School is under investigation over promoting DEI. Dean of Georgetown Law School William Treanor rebuffed on this claim saying the school was well within their rights to determine their own curriculum.

Edward Martin, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, sent a letter to the dean of Georgetown Law School, indicating that it is under investigation for continuing to "teach and promote" diversity,

A clash between one of the nation’s most unqualified federal prosecutors and one of its most celebrated constitutional scholars spilled into public view.

Dean William Treanor said Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin's threat to blacklist students if the school didn't stop teaching DEI was a clear First Amendment violation.
