US EditionRokita Renews Demand for DEI Documents From Notre Dame, Butler Universities
Attorney General Todd Rokita investigates whether Notre Dame and Butler University’s diversity policies violate Indiana law by engaging in racial discrimination affecting nonprofit status.
- Todd Rokita, the Attorney General of Indiana, is seeking extensive details about diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives from both Notre Dame and Butler universities as of August 2025.
- The demands follow initial letters sent in May that Rokita says received inadequate responses, prompting Civil Investigative Demands issued this month to both universities.
- Rokita's office contends some DEI policies may constitute racial discrimination affecting nonprofit status, citing concerns such as racially segregated ceremonies and race-based faculty recruitment.
- On June 27, Butler confirmed that it treats all individuals equally regardless of race or ethnicity and adheres to applicable federal and state regulations, while Notre Dame stated it approaches all members of its community in accordance with its Catholic values.
- Both universities must respond fully to the CIDs by August 27 for Notre Dame and September 3 for Butler, with Rokita indicating further legal action is possible if concerns are not resolved.
