The US Department of Education is investigating dozens of universities over diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that President Donald Trump alleges discriminate against white students. The investigation includes prestigious schools such as Cornell, Yale, MIT, and the University of Chicago. The Department of Education is also looking into alleged impermissible race-based scholarships and segregation at seven other schools. This comes after the Trump administration cut federal grants to Columbia University for failing to protect Jewish students from harassment during protests against Israel's offensive in Gaza.
