American Bar Association Repeals DEI Rule Following U.S. Education Department's Proposed Accreditation Overhaul

The American Bar Association (ABA) council, which accredits law schools, voted to repeal a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) rule. This action follows the U.S. Education Department's proposal for a significant overhaul of the higher education accreditation system, which found the ABA out of compliance with federal standards, potentially jeopardizing students' access to federal loans and grants.
