US Administration Increases Scrutiny of Universities on Admissions, Diversity, and Protests

The Trump administration has intensified its focus on US universities, examining admissions practices, diversity initiatives, and responses to campus protests. The Department of Justice has alleged bias at Duke University School of Law. Education Secretary Linda McMahon has urged universities to implement reforms by year-end, a directive the National Education Association has advised institutions to reject, indicating potential conflict over academic autonomy and federal oversight.
