US EditionRokita Threatens Notre Dame for Pursuing Diversity in Student Body, Faculty
- On May 9, 2025, Indiana’s Attorney General Todd Rokita initiated a review of the University of Notre Dame's policies related to equity, diversity, and inclusion in South Bend.
- The inquiry arises from concerns that Notre Dame's 2033 Strategic Framework and DEI efforts may conflict with state and federal civil rights regulations and risk affecting the university's nonprofit status.
- Rokita demanded Notre Dame provide documents about admissions and hiring practices by June 9, citing the university’s race-conscious efforts to increase underrepresented students and faculty.
- Attorney General Rokita emphasized that Indiana will not allow racial bias to influence educational decisions under the pretense of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, citing state laws that forbid race-based treatment and referencing the 2023 Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action in college admissions.
- Notre Dame responded that it does not engage in unlawful discrimination, aims to reflect the Catholic Church’s global diversity, and seeks the best candidates, while the investigation could impact its public and charitable purpose.
