U from A-Fayetteville Face Trump Administration dei Investigation

Most inquiries are aimed at universities, which work with the doctoral project, a non -profit organization that helps students from underrepresented groups to receive business deals.

Fayetteville, Ark. – The University of Arkansas in Fayetteville is examined together with more than 50 other universities for suspected racial discrimination as part of President Donald Trump's campaign to combat Dei programs for diversity, justice and inclusion (DEI).

The educational department announced the new investigations on March 14, one month after the creation of a Memo-Warn America's schools and universities that they could lose the federal benefit via “racial preferences” in approvals, scholarships or any aspect of student life.

“The students must be assessed according to earnings and achievements that are not prescribed by the color of their skin,” said Minister of Education Linda McMahon in an explanation.

Most new inquiries focus on the partnerships of the universities with the doctoral project, a non -profit organization that helps students from underrepresented groups achieve business deals in order to diversify the business world.
