NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee Republican Congressman Andy Ogles sent a letter to the Education Secretary calling for an investigation into Belmont University.

Rep. Ogles said he penned this letter to Secretary Linda McMahon in reference to leaked videos reportedly showing a Belmont official talking about renaming their diversity, equity, and inclusion (or DEI) offices rather than dismantling them.

Belmont University claims to be a Christian school rooted in Biblical principles, but its teachers deal in deception.

President Trump has rightly demanded that all colleges and universities dismantle their DEI cartel or risk losing federal funding. So why are Belmont officials on camera bragging about their ‘clever’ scheme to simply rename their DEI offices and keep pushing the same agenda?

I just sent a letter to @EDSecMcMahon demanding a full investigation into Belmont—and, if necessary, a cut to their funding.

Not in Tennessee. Not on my watch.

Rep. Andy Ogles

President Donald Trump has ordered all colleges and universities to end DEI programs. Ogles calls the leaked videos troubling evidence, stating the university is continuing the activities that the Trump administration has required be discontinued.

Ogles' letter claims the school discussed renaming its DEI programs as Hope, Unity, and Belonging (or HUB), which would violate Executive Order 14173 and possibly the Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Ogles asks Sec. McMahon for a compliance review of Belmont's HUB operation, for her to issue guidance on "cosmetic name changes," and for a report to Congress on DEI rebranding across federal institutions.

News 2 has reached out to Belmont University for comment, but have not heard back.
