One of the victims of the 2023 shooting, Patricia Navarro-Velez, was named as part of a federal investigation by the Department of Education into the school's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts alongside another professor who was no longer employed by the university. The investigation was part of the second Trump administration's efforts to remove DEI programs from within schools and government agencies. The school confirmed that Navarro-Velez was being investigated, and a spokesperson for the school said that she was part of the PhD Project, which is an organization which aims to recruit a "broader talent pipeline" into doctoral programs. On March 21, 2025, the Department of Education claimed that schools had violated the 1964 Civil Rights Act by partnering with the organization.
