US EditionTrump Administration Probes Stanford University over Diversity ...
The program is being phased out as Stanford says its resource center serves teachers regardless of race.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights launched an investigation into Stanford University to determine whether its BIPOC Cohort violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
- Defending Education filed a civil rights complaint in March, alleging the program provides funding exclusively to teachers who 'identify as a person of color,' constituting prohibited discrimination under federal law.
- Stanford stated the cohort is being sunsetted and not accepting new applicants, while maintaining its broader National Board Resource Center remains open to all educators regardless of race pursuing certification.
- The investigation aligns with the Trump administration's broader crackdown on diversity, equity, and inclusion practices; officials report over 300 colleges have eliminated DEI requirements or offices since taking office.
- Federal regulators are simultaneously examining similar initiatives at Ohio State University and the University of California, San Diego for potential race-based discrimination under Title VI funding requirements.
