The leadership of George Mason University is firing back after a report from the Heritage Foundation said the school had one of the largest diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucracies in the nation.
The report states that George Mason, a public university in northern Virginia, employs one of the largest DEI operations among United States colleges, with at least 69 diversity, equity, and inclusion staff, meaning that the university employs 7.4 DEI staff for every 100 faculty members.
Balog touted the university's eighth-place position in the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression's free speech rankings and noted that the school has been rated the top institution for veterans by College Factual. It was also among a select number of schools given the"best of the best" rating by Campus Pride.
Balog noted that Heritage previously praised the university's response to attempts to cancel a commencement address by Gov. Glenn Youngkin , in which the foundation said"other universities could learn a lot from George Mason’s example.”
