US EditionEducation Department says George Mason University violated Title VI with ‘unlawful DEI policies’
The Department of Education demands George Mason University correct discriminatory hiring policies within 10 days and implement annual training for administrators, citing Title VI violations.
- On Friday, the federal Department of Education announced its investigation into George Mason University, Fairfax County, Virginia, for alleged violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 involving race in hiring and promotions.
- The department opened its investigation July 10 after George Mason professors filed a complaint alleging preferential treatment for underrepresented groups to advance antiracism.
- Investigators found the faculty handbook requires the office of DEI to approve hires before offers, an administrator said Washington monitored DEI hiring goals, and Craig Trainor accused Gregory Washington of waging a university-wide campaign to implement unlawful DEI policies at Mason.
- The department demanded Mason fix violations within 10 days, called for Gregory Washington to apologize, and ordered policy reviews plus annual training for administrators who make hires and promotions.
- The Trump administration made Virginia colleges an early focal point, with investigations contrasting previous administrations' quieter approach that avoided targeting university presidents.
