NEW: 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.

The Trump administration's insinuation that George Mason University is some liberal hive of wokeness is utter horseshit. GMU's Mercatus Center is one of the leading free-market think tanks around D.C. Its law school is named after Antonin Scalia!

OTOH, GMU hired a Black man as its president.
