Justice Department and Education Department Withdraw Support for Grants to Hispanic-Serving Colleges

The Justice Department under the Trump administration announced it will not defend a longstanding grant program for Hispanic-serving colleges, claiming the program is unconstitutional as it provides racial advantages, leading to a legal challenge from Tennessee and a conservative group. The case questions the constitutionality of race-based funding for colleges with high Hispanic enrollment, amid broader debates over affirmative action and diversity policies.
