U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has instructed the American Bar Association (ABA) to eliminate its diversity, equity, and inclusion standards for law schools, warning that failure to do so may lead to a revocation of its accreditation authority. In her letter, Bondi contended that these requirements violate civil rights laws and contradict the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action. While the ABA has paused enforcement of these standards for further review, it remains committed to ensuring compliance with current laws. This move signifies a broader debate on diversity policies within higher education institutions.
