Federal Investigations Target Over 50 Universities Amid Anti-DEI Campaign

The Trump administration has launched investigations into more than 50 universities across the country for their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, citing concerns over potential racial discrimination and illegal race-based practices. Institutions such as Towson University, MIT, and Yale are among those being scrutinized. The Department of Education has initiated these probes following a warning letter issued to the universities regarding their DEI policies. As the investigations unfold, various institutions, including the University of Arkansas and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, are facing allegations related to race-exclusionary practices, raising significant concerns about the future of DEI initiatives in higher education.
