Belmont University thought it could remain an incubator of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion antics without making too much noise. Too late—we posted the videos showing the university brass openly admitting they’re flouting the law. Sure, they got ahead of the curve regarding re-naming their DEI office, but it’s a distinction without a difference. They thought their secret sauce for avoiding detection was to keep it quiet. Jozef Lukey, Belmont University Assistant Director of Student Success and Flourishing, is quite candid in the videos:

The Tennessee Republican also sent a letter to Education Secretary Linda McMahon calling for an investigation into these antics. The university also admitted to hiding illegal alien students.

🚨SCOOP UPDATE: Rep. Andy Ogles from Tennessee's 5th congressional district located close to Belmont University in Nashville, has responded to this morning's leaked videos exposing the university's secret DEI program and concealment of illegals enrolled at the school.
