Since 1969, Accuracy in Media has exposed corruption, held radicals accountable, and empowered citizens to fight back.  In the second quarter of 2025, our mission didn’t just continue -- it expanded!

Thanks to our generous supporters, AIM launched new undercover investigations, exposed flagrant violations of state law, directly confronted corrupt officials, and made national headlines with exposés that are shaping public policy.

Our strategy remains simple: Expose wrongdoing.  Confront the offenders.  Apply relentless public pressure until there are consequences.

And in Q2, those consequences were swift… and public.

Breaking the Law in North Carolina: DEI Bans Ignored

Despite a system-wide ban on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programming in the UNC system, AIM uncovered university officials who are openly defying the law… and bragging about it.

University of North Carolina at Charlotte

At UNC-Charlotte, Jacqueline Sanders, Assistant Director of Leadership & Community Engagement, admitted that DEI never left -- it was just rebranded.  “We’ve renamed, we’ve reorganized, we’ve recalibrated,” she said.  “The word of the year is finesse.”  Sanders described a strategy of using language like “leadership” or “different stocks of knowledge” to continue pushing DEI values without triggering oversight.  Sanders confirmed that while there are no outward DEI job titles, there are “covert” opportunities to do the work. 

After AIM released the investigation and confronted top university officials -- who either refused to comment or fled the scene -- Sanders was removed from her position.

The video quickly went viral, surpassing 4.8 million views across platforms and earning coverage in The Charlotte Observer, Axios, WFAE, Carolina Journal, The College Fix, and WSOC-TV.  The investigation prompted reactions from both North Carolina’s Senate Majority Leader and their Senate President, as well as the Assistant Attorney General of the United States.  State Senate Leader Phil Berger also cited AIM’s video while advocating for broader anti-DEI reforms statewide.

University of North Carolina at Asheville

Megan Pugh, Dean of Students, openly boasted to AIM investigators, “I love breaking rules,” when asked about the DEI ban.   She confirmed that administrators must “keep it quiet,” but said she tries to embed DEI principles “wherever I can.”  Pugh discussed incorporating implicit bias and anti-racism trainings under more vague language and proudly stated the school would be open to hosting such programming again.  Her flippant attitude and public defiance of state policy sparked outrage, and Pugh was removed from her position shortly after the footage aired.  The video received hundreds of thousands of views on X and was picked up by countless local news outlets. 

Western Carolina University

At WCU, Karen Price, Director of Institutional Assessment, laid out the most comprehensive workaround strategy of all.  “We’re trying to embed that kind of Diversity, Equity, Inclusiveness… really across every area,” she said.  “If you embed it, then it can’t be legislated out.”  Price described how the university eliminated overt DEI job titles and redistributed those responsibilities -- and funding -- throughout departments to protect the work from political consequences.  “The work is still occurring very much here at Western,” she told our investigator.  “You just might see it called different things.”  When asked about evading legislative scrutiny, Price proudly replied, “Now you’re understanding the strategy behind what it is.”

Once again, the video gained hundreds of thousands of views on X as well as widespread state and national media coverage.  WCU issued a response to the media, confirming that Price departed the university days after AIM President Adam Guillette visited the university and confronted multiple administrators.

University of North Carolina at Wilmington

Administrators admitted they “didn’t fire anybody” -- they just reassigned DEI staff and renamed their programs to avoid detection.  One told our investigator that UNCW was “trying to be a little sneaky.”  Another confirmed that the supposedly eliminated positions had been “technically replaced.”

AIM’s video exposed the deception and called for immediate disciplinary action.  Just days after release, UNCW issued a formal statement promising “appropriate action” in response to AIM’s findings.

These North Carolina investigations were strategically timed with action alert campaigns at SaveNCSchools.com, where AIM activists sent tens of thousands of emails to the relevant elected officials. 

With three administrators removed, AIM’s work has transformed a passive policy into an active accountability campaign across the UNC system, and we will continue to pressure both the UNC Board of Governors and the state legislature to act.

Higher Ed Corruption: Exposing the DEI Cartel Florida Universities

Florida state law prohibits public universities from using taxpayer funds to promote Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.  AIM uncovered how university officials are still promoting DEI through backdoor funding, ideological commitment, and careful rebranding.

University of South Florida at St. Petersburg

At USF-St. Petersburg, Heather Klišanin, Director of Student Conduct and Ethical Development, was caught on hidden camera explaining how USF continues DEI programming by shifting funding to student government and activity fees, rather than direct state appropriations.  “Our goal is that it won’t go away,” she said.  “It just may adjust for logistical purposes and politics.”  When Adam Guillette confronted her, Klišanin’s face turned white and she denied having made the statement. 

The investigation was released as a “First on Fox” exclusive.  The clip went viral on social media and the university promised additional training for their staff.  However, Governor Ron DeSantis’ communication director proclaimed: “Additional training will not be a sufficient response."

University of West Florida

At UWF, AIM investigators exposed Aurora Osborn, Senior Director of the Office of Campus Culture and Access, detailing another workaround. 

Osborn admitted DEI programs can’t be state-funded, but that other funding sources can enable their divisive, illegal work to continue.

After releasing this investigation, our team gained new allies in the state university system… and UWF gained a new president who is far more focused on education rather than indoctrination.

Holding Antisemites Accountable -- By Name

Columbia Graduate at Highland Hospital

Gabrielle Wimer was arrested during a violent pro-Hamas riot at Columbia University.  This summer, she began working as a medical resident at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California.  AIM deployed a mobile billboard outside the hospital with Wimer’s name, face, and a link to GabrielleWimer.com, where concerned citizens can demand her removal.

University of Washington Commencement

In June, AIM brought a mobile billboard to the University of Washington’s graduation ceremony -- right to the heart of Husky Stadium -- to confront campus antisemitism head-on.  The billboard exposed members of SUPER UW, a radical, pro-Hamas student group behind the violent May occupation of the university’s engineering building that caused over $1 million in damage.

Despite more than 30 arrests, most of these extremists faced no consequences.  Many walked across the graduation stage without so much as a slap on the wrist.

Adam Guillette attended the ceremony in person, confronting attendees, interviewing students, and documenting just how far UW has fallen.  In one shocking exchange, a student insisted the damage was justified because “the engineering building is funding genocide.”  Others shouted at our team to “shut up with your Jewishness” and called us “bastards.”

The billboard featured a direct call to action at UWHatesJews.com, which allows supporters to email UW trustees and the King County prosecutor demanding that the perpetrators be held accountable.

Northwestern University: Tenure for Terrorism?

Northwestern University, under the leadership of President Michael Schill, has once again surrendered to pro-Hamas radicals -- this time by hiring a professor with alleged ties to multiple terrorist-affiliated organizations.

In response to demands made by campus encampment activists, Schill agreed to hire two Palestinian professors.  One of them, Mkhaimar Abusada, serves on the boards of the Independent Commission for Human Rights (ICHR) and the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) -- both of which have reported ties to designated terrorist organizations, including Hamas and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

ICHR has praised Hamas leaders and held meetings with top figures in the terror group.  PCHR, meanwhile, has employed PFLP operatives, one of whom reportedly served as its director.  Incredibly, Abusada is now teaching a course at Northwestern titled “Palestinian National Movement.”

Accuracy in Media brought the fight to Schill’s front door…literally. 

We sent a mobile billboard to his home and launched SchillForHamas.com, calling on the Board of Trustees to demand his resignation.  If Northwestern is going to elevate someone tied to terror-linked organizations and put him in front of students, then AIM will make sure the public knows exactly who made that happen.

Harvard University Commencement

Harvard is under federal investigation for failing to protect Jewish students.  In April, its own Presidential Task Force cited AIM’s mobile billboards and digital campaigns for playing a defining role in post-October 7 accountability efforts. 

At Harvard’s June commencement, AIM showed up again -- this time with a mobile billboard exposing the students who supported antisemitism or engaged in violent acts.  Elom Tettey-Tamaklo and Ibrahim Bharmal, who received just 80 hours of community service after allegedly assaulting a Jewish student, were prominently featured.  Tettey-Tamaklo was voted to be a class marshal, and Bharmal received a $65,000 scholarship from the Harvard Law Review.  We also named students whose groups blamed Israel for the October 7 Hamas attack, ensuring their affiliations can’t be buried or forgotten. 

The mobile billboard provoked heated reactions.  One bystander shouted, “Shut up with your Jewishness,” and another, “You are all the bastards!”  A Jewish family attending graduation told AIM they did not feel safe on Harvard’s campus.

This isn’t just about provocation -- it’s about permanent accountability.  AIM purchased domains tied to each individual featured, created HarvardHatesJews.com to pressure university leadership, and distributed a satirical “commencement program” that mocked the school’s tolerance of hate.  National press took notice, with coverage in The Boston Globe, The Harvard Crimson, and NPR affiliate WBUR.

This isn’t just a protest -- it’s a warning.  AIM is making sure the public knows who these radicals are and what they’ve done.  When schools let hatred go unchecked, we show up -- and we bring consequences with us.

Domain Warfare: The Permanent Record

To ensure accountability lasts longer than a news cycle, AIM now owns more than 2,200 domains tied to radical individuals.  When someone searches for them online -- whether a future employer or law enforcement -- their involvement in extremism comes up first.

Just ask Elliot Mur, whose domain ElliotMur.com now ranks on the first page of search results, documenting his role in campus radicalism.

This strategy is making radicals rethink their activism, and institutions panic about who we’ll expose next.

By the Numbers: AIM’s Reach in Q2

In Q2, Accuracy in Media garnered over $25.8 million in earned media generated across television, print, and digital platforms.  Our North Carolina investigations alone accounted for $10.9 million in earned media during just a two-and-a-half-week window in late May and early June.  From Fox News to regional affiliates and college outlets, AIM’s work didn’t just spark coverage -- it dominated the narrative and drove measurable results: firings, legislative pressure, and campus-wide fallout.

AIM has launched undercover investigations in eight states, triggering the firings of at least six administrators.  AIM’s investigations and activism have directly inspired state lawsuits, helped shape legislative reforms like universal school choice in Texas, and forced leadership changes at universities.  After all, elected officials and bureaucrats all dream of personal advancement.  Clever politicians use our earned media as an opportunity to make a name for themselves.  Conversely, progressive bureaucrats know that the TV cameras from our investigations will end their careers.

Thank you for standing with us. Your support powers every confrontation, every billboard, every headline.
