This week, Edward Martin, the interim US attorney for Washington, DC, sent a letter to the dean of @Georgetown Law School threatening to investigate the school if it did not scrub its policies and curriculum of diversity and inclusion initiatives. Here is the Dean's response. As a member of the Board of Trustees of Georgetown, I support this letter wholeheartedly. Jesuit education means care for the whole person, in both their spiritual and intellectual lives. And Jesuit practice often involves speaking truth to power. "As a Catholic and Jesuit institution, Georgetown University was founded on the principle that serious and sustained discourse among people of different faiths, cultures and beliefs promotes intellectual, ethical and spiritual understanding. For us at Georgetown, this principle is a moral and educational imperative. It is a principle that defines our mission as a Catholic and Jesuit institution."
