Trump administration to investigate Portland’s Center for Black Student Excellence
Federal investigators examine whether Portland's $16 million Center for Black Student Excellence unlawfully limits resources despite similar challenges among Native American and Latinx students.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education opened a civil rights investigation into Portland Public Schools over its Center for Black Student Excellence, Education Secretary Linda McMahon confirmed.
- Stemmed from a $1.2 billion 2020 school construction bond that set aside $60 million, the December complaint by Defending Education targets the district's $16 million building purchase and up to $25 million conversion investment.
- The center's stated mission pledges to `center Blackness unapologetically` by offering year-round tutoring, food assistance, and transportation to close opportunity gaps.
- OCR stressed that opening a case does not mean a violation has been found, and PPS must persuade investigators its targeted supports do not cross legal lines, Assistant Secretary Kimberly Richey said.
- Amid broader scrutiny of DEI programs, federal officials have signaled increased oversight, with the Trump administration conceding it lost its anti-DEI legal battle last month, reflecting a wider federal push against race-focused initiatives.
