Schools face deadline to remove DEI programs or lose federal funding

Schools must dismantle diversity programs by the end of February to avoid losing federal funding, according to a memo from the U.S. Department of Education.
The memo reflects a shift in the federal government’s interpretation of anti-discrimination laws following a 2023 Supreme Court decision banning race in college admissions.
California's Department of Justice is consulting with higher education partners to understand the impact of the new guidance on educational institutions.
Some education leaders praised the memo as an overdue step, calling for schools to focus on academics rather than programs that promote division.
