The Trump administration has initiated an investigation into the hiring practices of the University of California system, addressing concerns over diversity initiatives perceived as discriminatory. The Department of Justice asserts that the university's focus on race and sex in hiring exposes them to legal challenges under federal discrimination laws. While the UC system defends its practices, affirming compliance with anti-discrimination laws, the investigation reflects ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and American higher education institutions.
The Trump administration has depicted diversity initiatives as a form of discrimination, stating that practices assessing new hires by race and sex risk violating federal laws.
The Justice Department believes unlawful actions occurred at the UC system but has not concluded the investigation; the university remains committed to lawful hiring practices.
