Overview
In a new guidance from the Trump administration, the U.S. Education Department demands schools eliminate diversity initiatives within 14 days or face loss of federal funding. The ultimatum stems from a Supreme Court ruling against race-conscious admissions and applies broadly to hiring and financial aid as well. Schools are under pressure to assess their compliance, which civil rights groups are critiquing for its vagueness. The Education Department also terminated $600 million in grants promoting diversity training, underlining a change in the interpretation of anti-discrimination laws aimed at eliminating perceived racial preferences in educational practices.
