The Trump administration is investigating Stanford University and several University of California campuses regarding their admissions policies following a Supreme Court ruling that abolished affirmative action. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated the investigations aim to ensure compliance with the court's decision, which the administration sees as a move to dismantle what they view as discriminatory diversity programs. The Department of Education previously began investigations into 52 universities suspected of racial discrimination, particularly in admissions practices that favor students of color. Stanford has reported compliance efforts with the law after the ruling.
The Trump administration has opened investigations into the admissions policies at Stanford University and three campuses within the University of California system, including UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC Irvine.
Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has attempted to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs that his administration says exclude white and Asian American students.
President Trump and I are dedicated to ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity across the country," Bondi said, emphasizing merit over race-based preferences.
After the Supreme Court ruling, Stanford took immediate steps to ensure its admissions process complied with the law, expressing commitment to legal obligations.
