Efforts to recruit teachers from underrepresented groups could be seen as discrimination.
I’m guessing if they’re white it’s not.

The joke is on the Trump administration, it doesn’t even matter if they are going to withhold all the federal funding anyway.

Schools get funding?

A literal traitor is running the show.
Pathetic country.

I thought the president didn't control the purse. How can this threat be followed through on?

I've been told by admin at a few different institutions that DEI helps bring more white students into the institution.
They could put limits on international students (which also means limiting money coming into the school and into the country), but going purely based on merit means that Asian students would be pushing out white Americans.
replies:
Schools are being given 14 days to end any practice that treats students or workers differently because of their race.
So... They've solved racism?
So only the DEI schools will suffer if the entire DOE is defunded? Right. Why bother making 'corrections' for this if the threat is already there for everyone to lose funding anyway?
The SCOTUS already held that schools cannot consider race in their admissions. But schools can still use geography, so they often give preference to applicants from disadvantaged neighborhoods. I don't think Trump's latest EO is going to change that.
They need desperately poor educated people.
