The Department of Education has opened investigations into five US universities for potentially violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by offering scholarships limited to certain foreign-born students. The targeted universities are the University of Louisville, University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Miami, University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University. These investigations are in response to complaints from the Legal Insurrection Foundation regarding scholarships that may discriminate against students based on national origin, particularly concerning recipients of the Daca program or undocumented students. Additional reviews will consider scholarships potentially violating other aspects of Title VI.
The Trump administration's Department of Education has initiated national-origin discrimination investigations into five US universities concerning alleged exclusionary scholarships aimed at foreign-born students.
The investigations target the University of Louisville, University of Nebraska Omaha, University of Miami, University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University for potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Complaints from the Legal Insurrection Foundation's Equal Protection Project claim that certain scholarships are reserved for recipients of Daca or undocumented students, arguing this constitutes discrimination based on national origin.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon emphasized that non-citizens should not receive preferential treatment over American citizens in scholarship opportunities at universities.
