A Donald Trump-appointed US attorney has told one of the country’s top law schools to immediately end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, warning that his justice department office will not hire students or other affiliates associated with a university that utilizes DEI.

In an extraordinary letter sent to the dean of Georgetown law school, the recently appointed interim US attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, said he was investigating the academic institution after it had come to his “attention reliably” that they were teaching and promoting DEI.
