Interim University President Mark Wrighton said he was “troubled” after GWTeach professor Alicia Bitler said the N-word in an anti-racism class.

University president supports ant-Chinese posters as 'free speech' but university prohibited display of Palestinian flag.

Trustees are expected to reach a decision on whether to eliminate the moniker completely by the end of the academic year.

Student groups launched the effort in the wake of officials removing posters from campus denouncing the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights ​​abuses.

Wrighton’s first Board meeting appearance comes as officials work to improve shared governance before the search for a new president.

George Washington University has apologized for its failure to notify students, faculty and staff of a data analytics pilot program that monitored their locations.

Officials tracked students, faculty and staff members’ movement across campus during the fall based on location data from WiFi access points without informing them.

A Chinese state media outlet is calling George Washington University an "asylum for racism" after students put up posters made by a Chinese dissident artist that were critical of China's government.

The Chinese Communist Party’s most ardent defenders come not from China, but from America’s newsrooms and universities.

Wrighton has apologized for the incident, which has been highlighted in national outlets and a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
