Education Department probing 50-plus universities for ‘illegal discrimination’ with DEI
The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has initiated investigations into more than 50 universities over allegations of “race-exclusionary practices” as part of its crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion in academia.
The department said Friday that 45 universities are under scrutiny for their involvement with a program that seeks to increase minority representation among faculty and students in graduate business programs.
