Trump Administration Investigates Duke University for Civil Rights Violations | JQJO

The Trump administration is investigating Duke University for alleged Civil Rights Act violations, launching a probe into the university and its law journal. Education Secretary Linda McMahon and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. also sent a letter expressing concerns about race preferences in hiring, admissions, and scholarships. This follows a similar settlement with Columbia University and ongoing legal battles with Harvard. Duke hasn't indicated willingness to negotiate, marking the first such target in a state Trump won. The investigation could lead to the loss of federal funding, adding to financial pressure on the university.
