The Department of Justice, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, is investigating Stanford University and three University of California institutions over allegations of discrimination based on race, linked to their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices. This investigation is a response to a recent Supreme Court ruling that deemed race-based affirmative action unconstitutional. Stanford had previously supported such practices, claiming they enhance innovation in STEM fields. The investigations jeopardize federal funding for Stanford, as the Trump administration is known for withholding funds from universities that fail to align with its policies on race and funding.
"Attorney General Bondi indicated yesterday that the schools weren't following the Supreme Court's ruling."
"Stanford will 'adapt to the new legal environment' while maintaining its commitment to diversity."
