Trump education policy
Because of diversity: 50 US universities under scrutiny
The US government under President Donald Trump is restructuring the education sector. This time it is affecting universities: An investigation has been launched into around 50 institutions for their diversity policies, according to the US Department of Education.
The universities had not responded to an earlier letter to discontinue their diversity policy or had violated rules. For example, some had awarded scholarships based on skin color. Education Minister Linda McMahon explained that students should be judged on merit and success, not on the color of their skin. "We will not back away from this commitment."
President Donald Trump's government is concerned with the so-called DEI programs. These stand for "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion". This means that companies or organizations ensure that people from different backgrounds, of different genders or with disabilities have equal opportunities in the workplace. The programs were introduced to counteract historical discrimination against black people or women.
"The Department is working to realign civil rights enforcement to ensure that all students are protected from illegal discrimination," McMahon clarifies.
