According to a ProPublica report, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has largely paused its ongoing investigations. The new focus is on cases related to gender-neutral bathrooms, trans women athletes, and allegations of antisemitism and discrimination against white students. These they have pursued based on directives from President Trump's administration rather than student complaints. Employees report being told to cease investigations, including urgent cases that impact student well-being, while around 12,000 complaints had been open at the end of Biden's tenure.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights has paused the majority of its investigations, shifting focus to cases directed by the Trump administration.
