Ed Martin asked Georgetown law school dean to get rid of DEI in groups
Georgetown University’s law school should eliminate all DEI from its seminars if it wants learners to apprentice with the U. S. counsel for D. C., according to a recent text.
U. S. Attorney Ed Martin, the national counsel for Washington, D. C., asked Dean William Treanor if he had “eliminated” La from groups, and if not, if he planned to.
Martin ( pictured ) wrote to Treanor:
Second, have you eliminated all La from your university and its education?
Next, if DEI is found in your programs or teaching in yeah, will you move quickly to eliminate it?At this time, you should know that no person for our fellows system, our summer apprenticeship, or work in our office who is a student or affiliated with a law school or university that continues to train and use DEI will be considered.
Though the email is dated February 17, Martin sent it again on March 3 due to a complex problem, according to The Post Millennial.
The news channel noted that Georgetown’s law school greatly embraces DEI:
In his “welcome” site on the Georgetown Law site, Treanor highlights the importance of DEI as he sees it. ” At Georgetown Law”, Treanor writes,” we are committed to the Jesuit notion of setup personalis– educating the entire person – and advancing fairness through the legislation. Central to these core values is an importance on alternative learning, heath, and creating a college lifestyle where all community members can grow. This commitment is also evidenced in our work in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ( DEI ). Our belief in the critical importance of DEI is rooted in our founding as an institution that has always sought to open more doors and to be a force for social justice”.
Dean Treanor also has been critical of statements by academics that take aim at affirmative action.
In 2022, he publicly suspended libertarian legal scholar Ilya Shapiro for his social media criticism of affirmative action. A university investigation of a single tweet took months to complete but ended with the school clearing him because he had not yet started his new job at the Jesuit law school as its director of its Center for the Constitution.
Soon after, Shapiro resigned rather than continue at a university he considered hostile to free speech.
