DOJ Announces Investigation Into Allegations of DEI Practices at Arizona State University
The civil rights division will review admissions, scholarships and other support programs after viral videos raised concerns about unequal treatment, officials said.
- On Tuesday, the United States Department of Justice announced a Title VI investigation into diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at Arizona State University, with the Civil Rights Division handling the probe.
- The investigation follows "recent viral videos" released by Accuracy in Media, which appear to show Arizona State attempting to "hide its discriminatory practices from federal scrutiny."
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon stated the Division will examine whether ASU "subjects its students to illegal discrimination" through DEI policies in admissions, recruitment, scholarships, tutoring, and educational support.
- If the Justice Department finds Title VI violations, Arizona State could face threats to its funding and federal compliance demands, though the university has not yet provided a statement.
- The probe marks another Trump administration investigation into DEI programs at major universities, as Arizona State, home to over 160,000 students, remains under federal review for compliance.
