Ed Martin, the Trump-appointed interim U.S. attorney for D.C., warned Georgetown Law that his office will not hire students or affiliates from schools that continue diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Legal experts condemned his stance as unconstitutional.

Georgetown defended its academic freedom, stating they are constitutionally protected and promote intellectual and ethical understanding.
