Academics hit 'bureaucratic' Georgetown Law Office of Diversity following investigation of Ilya Shapiro

Georgetown University's Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action caught heat from critics after law professor Ilya Shapiro resigned on Monday.

Taylor Penley is a production assistant with Fox News.

According to the op-ed, the Georgetown University Law Center reinstated Shapiro last Thursday, citing he did not violate the institution's Speech and Expression Policy since he was not a university employee when he shared the tweet. But Shapiro elected to resign shortly after. He cited a report he received from the university's Office of Diversity, Equity and Affirmative Action (IDEAA) and said remaining in the position was "untenable."

"Dean William Treanor cleared me on the technicality that I wasn’t an employee when I tweeted, but the IDEAA implicitly repealed Georgetown’s Speech and Expression Policy and set me up for discipline the next time I transgress progressive orthodoxy," he said.
