TOI Education / Mar 07, 2025, 17:30 (IST)
The US Department of Education ordered federally funded schools to eliminate DEI programs within 14 days or risk losing funding. The directive, backed by Trump, bans race-conscious policies in admissions, hiring, and scholarships. In response, the ACLU and teachers' union sued, arguing it violates First Amendment rights. The case may reach the Supreme Court.
