Bravo to him. Notable that the Black president of a non-elite university is the one taking such a clear and forceful stand (and not surprising that he is the target of this administration).
But the title of this post is inaccurate @CC_Sorin. He did not “defend DEI,” at least not according to the source article. He asserted that the government had not demonstrated that GMU demonstrated any discrimination in hiring and rejected the demand for an apology.
