Federal Education Dept. Launches Investigation Into Stanford’s Diversity Programs

WASHINGTON – Federal education officials announced Wednesday they have launched an investigation into Stanford University regarding the school’s diversity initiatives, which the current administration claims constitute discriminatory practices.

The investigation represents part of President Trump’s wider campaign against diversity, equity and inclusion programs throughout both government agencies and private organizations since he returned to office in early 2024. University officials at Stanford have not yet provided a response to requests for comment about the federal probe.
