American Bar Association Repeals DEI Rule for Law Schools Following Education Department's Accreditation Overhaul Proposal

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