When university president Gregory Washington received notice that the Trump administration had opened an investigation into complaints of antisemitism, he was “perplexed.” But there are signs it may be part of a coordinated campaign to oust him.

Just like the investigation at the University of Virginia, this one targets the school’s president, Gregory Washington. According to the complaint, he’s accused of favoring faculty candidates based on racial diversity. GMU said in a statement the university received a new Department of Education letter as it was released to news outlets.
