Federal officials today also announced more moves tied to the Columbia protests, arresting a Palestinian woman who allegedly overstayed her student visa and revoking the visa of an Indian doctoral student who they say advocated for violence and terrorism.
Meanwhile, the Department of Education today announced new investigations into more than 50 colleges for alleged racial discrimination, part of President Trump’s campaign to end diversity, equity and inclusion efforts nationwide. They include public universities like Ohio State, Rutgers and Arizona State, as well as private institutions like Yale, Duke and MIT.
And the announcement comes just one month after an administration memo warning schools they could lose federal funding for considering race in admissions, scholarships or any aspect of student life.
For a closer look now, I’m joined by Sarah Brown, senior editor at “The Chronicle of Higher Education.”
Welcome back. Thanks for being here.
