NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE, JUL 18 – Rep. Andy Ogles alleges Belmont University continues Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs under a new name and is concealing undocumented students, urging federal review and possible funding cuts.
- On July 16, 2025, Congressman Andy Ogles asked the Department of Education to investigate Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, alleging it rebranded DEI programs to avoid compliance and is concealing undocumented students.
- Ogles cited Townhall footage revealing Belmont official saying `the HUB is Hope, Unity and Belonging,` underscoring the alleged rebranding scheme.
