The U.S. Department of Education has announced the termination of over $370 million in grants associated with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. This move is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to dismantle DEI initiatives across federal agencies, aligning with recent Supreme Court rulings against race-based policies. The Department has issued a directive requiring state education departments and federally funded institutions to eliminate all DEI-related policies within 14 days or risk losing federal funding.
