Indiana AG Conducting DEI Investigation of Notre Dame

By John Szink May 15, 2025 | 8:39 AM

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has issued a letter to the University of Notre Dame concerning the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, policies and practices, which potentially violate federal and state civil rights laws and the terms of the university’s nonprofit status.

Rokita says Notre Dame’s responses to his office’s inquiry will help determine whether further action is warranted to ensure it is operating consistent with the terms of its nonprofit status and Indiana’s commitment to racial equality.

The university has until June 9th to respond.
