George Mason’s President Refuses to Apologize

Stephanie Saul, writing for the New York Times:

The Trump administration has made attacking universities central to its agenda. Higher education leaders argue that their institutions are the pillars of fact-based scientific inquiry and freedom of expression. President Trump and his supporters have argued they are elitist and focused on indoctrinating new generations into liberal ideologies.

But George Mason stands in stark contrast to the exclusive institutions Mr. Trump has targeted. It offers admission to 90 percent of its applicants. Many are middle-class students from Northern Virginia.

It is also among the most diverse campuses in the country.

I wish I can tell Dr. Washington in person to stand strong and not to back down. We have his back.
