George Mason University president rejects Education Department's apology demand

George Mason University's president will not apologize to satisfy the demand of the Education Department, which said it had determined the university has violated federal civil rights law, according to a letter obtained by NBC News. The letter says the federal department’s conclusions, published Friday , make it “glaringly apparent that the [Office of Civil Rights] investigation process has been cut short, and ‘findings’ have been made in spite of a very incomplete fact-finding process.”
