U.S. Justice Department to investigate admissions at UC Berkeley, Stanford
Briefly

The U.S. Department of Justice announced it will investigate four prominent California universities, including UC Berkeley and Stanford, to evaluate their adherence to a Supreme Court decision that eliminated race-based affirmative action in college admissions. This move aligns with President Trump’s push against diversity and inclusion programs in higher education. Following the landmark ruling from two years ago, the investigations could carry significant implications for colleges that still utilize race as a factor in admissions, despite California previously banning such practices. The compliance stances of the universities involved remain a topic of interest.
