50+ universities investigated for racial bias

More than 50 universities are under investigation for alleged racial discrimination as part of President Donald Trump’s effort to end diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, which his officials claim discriminate against white and Asian American students. The Education Department revealed the investigations on Friday, following a memo issued a month earlier warning schools and colleges that they could lose federal funding over 'race-based preferences' in admissions, scholarships, or other areas of student life.
