George Washington’s bust is back on a monument at his namesake D.C. university.
The College Fix confirmed on July 27 that a bust of the nation’s first president is back on “Townhouse Row” at 23rd and F Street NW.
Someone first removed the head of Washington at the end of May or on June 1, 2020. Police found the head sitting next to its base early in the morning of June 1. Law enforcement closed the investigation.
The College Fix emailed the media relations team for the university and left a voicemail on July 27 but did not receive a response.
The Fix asked if the bust is the original if there were any costs to replace and if any further information has been uncovered about the culprits. The Fix also asked if any security measures would be put in place to prevent the removal in the future.
The College Fix also asked in October 2020 for comment but did not receive a response.
The incident attracted little attention until campus newspaper The GW Hatchet included it in a June 18, 2020 article about crime on campus.
At that time, there were protests across the country sparked by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

The border wall is being completed, gas prices on the way down, even George’s head is going back on its pedestal. Whats next - NEA denouncing cross dressers in the classroom?
The cynical side of me thinks this is election year sleight of hand.
The statues or busts can be made of plastic painted to look like bronze and filled with sand. Inexpensive and easy enough to set up. If they smash one, dozens more pop up.
Anyone who doesn't want to live in a country founded by great men such as George Washington can leave.
The little anti-history bass turd Snowflakes need their smelly asses kicked.
I wonder when Emil Faber’s head will be returned to his statue???
Knowledge is good!
Nimrata Randhawa is deeply saddened.
I prefer the statues be electrified.
