DOJ Probes William & Mary Race Policies | Richmond News

from Richmond News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Department of Justice is investigating William & Mary over potential race-based admissions and scholarship practices, following a Supreme Court ban on such policies. Scrutiny centers on programs that favor diversity, including scholarships for first-year students interested in diverse perspectives, fellowships for Hispanic and Latina women, and initiatives for Black college graduates — all under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The Trump administration’s broader probe targets universities nationwide, with possible consequences ranging from voluntary fixes to federal funding cuts or lawsuits if violations are confirmed. William & Mary says it’s reviewing the matter while pledging to uphold fair, lawful practices. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
