Summary

America First Legal claims Washington University School of Medicine moved its DEI office from a public first floor to a restricted 12th floor to avoid compliance with Trump executive orders and Supreme Court rulings against race-based discrimination programs. The organization says relocating the office doesn't make it lawful and vows to pursue accountability.

    /1🚨BREAKING — Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis didn’t dismantle its illegal “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” regime.  Instead, they hid their DEI office on a restricted floor. America First Legal found it.

🧵….

    /2 The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, once on the 1st floor of the North Medical Building — open and visible to the public — has been moved to the 12th floor of the Mid Campus Center, a restricted-access floor omitted from the university’s official floor plan.

    /3 An office built on “equity and inclusion” now operates behind locked doors, inaccessible to the public, the students, and the community it claims to represent. We’d ask what WashU is hiding — but we already know.

  4. #4

    /4 Moving a DEI office from a public space to a hidden one doesn’t make it lawful — it’s deliberate noncompliance. Title VI, Supreme Court precedent, and President Trump’s executive orders all make clear that discrimination, no matter how it’s disguised, is illegal.

  5. #5

    /5 The University of Virginia was forced to dismantle its unlawful DEI regime. Washington University can rename it, relocate it, or rebrand it — but it cannot evade accountability.

We’re just getting started…

  6. #6

    /6 Unlawful DEI has no defense. The law isn’t optional, and compliance isn’t voluntary.

AFL is committed to dismantling illegal DEI frameworks across higher education and restoring merit, equal protection, and the rule of law in every institution.
