The Department of Education announced Friday it was opening investigations into more than 50 universities over alleged “race-exclusionary practices.”
Yale, Georgetown and the University of Michigan are among the universities under fire for hosting graduate programs partnered with “The Ph.D. Project,” an organization that limits eligibility based on race, according to a press release from the department. Other universities, such as the University of Alabama and the University of South Florida, are being investigated for allegedly issuing race-based scholarships and allowing other race-based segregation.
