The U.S. Department of Education has instructed educational institutions to abolish race-specific programs, such as financial aid and racially themed dormitory floors, by this month to avoid losing federal funding. These guidelines stem from a new federal anti-discrimination policy that goes beyond just admissions practices. Emphasizing a zero-tolerance stance against both overt and covert racial discrimination, the department's letter notes that white and Asian students from disadvantaged backgrounds are often victims of such discrimination, highlighting the broad implications for educational equity moving forward.
The U.S. Department of Education has mandated the elimination of race-specific programs in schools, threatening federal funding for non-compliance by the end of the month.
The new federal guidelines extend beyond admissions, prohibiting race-based practices in all aspects of educational life, including financial aid and housing.
