The U.S. Department of Education has opened investigations into several universities, including the University of Miami and Western Michigan University, over allegations of exclusionary scholarships that benefit undocumented or DACA students. These federal probes aim to assess whether financial aid programs are in compliance with laws regarding non-citizens. The investigations have been prompted by complaints of discrimination, with some officials arguing that such scholarships grant unfair advantages to non-citizens. In total, five universities are facing scrutiny for their scholarship practices, which have raised concerns among civil rights groups and government officials.
