University of Alabama under Federal Investigation for “Inadmissible Racial -based scholarships and racial segregation”

The University of Alabama was recently appointed among 52 universities, which were currently examined by the US Ministry of Education for alleged “inadmissible, racial-based scholarships and racial-based segregation” and other violations of civil rights laws.

The educational department's office for civil rights (OCR) announced on Friday that it has opened up investigations at a total of 51 universities in accordance with title VI of the US constitution, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of breed, color and national origin in programs and activities.

The investigation arises from the allegations that 45 institutions have violated title VI by with “The Ph.D. Project ”, an organization that pretends to get doctoral students an insight into obtaining a Ph.D. And Networking opportunities, but OCR claim that the authorization is limited on the basis of the racing of the participants.

The OCR also stated that six other universities are examined for “allegedly inadmissible, racial -based scholars and racial segregation”. The University of Alabama falls into the latter category.

“The department is working on reorganizing the enforcement of civil rights to ensure that all students are protected against illegal discrimination,” said US Education Minister Linda McMahon. The agency has already initiated investigations from titles VI into institutions in which a widespread anti -Semitic nuisance was reported, and Title -SIX examinations that allegedly continue to allow discrimination based on gender. Today's announcement is expanding our efforts to ensure that the universities do not discriminate their students due to racial and racial stereotypes. The pupils must be assessed according to earnings and performance that are not biased by the color of their skin. We will not result in this obligation. ”

The most recent investigation is made when Donald Trump administration took the Ministry of Education due to complete disassembly. The agency announced on Tuesday that it would reduce almost half of its workforce to correspond to Trump's agenda to significantly reduce or abolish the department.

A Trump Executive Order should fall in the coming days.
