Trump administration targets college and university budgets in DEI crackdown

The Department of Education announced new investigations into more than 50 colleges for alleged racial discrimination, part of President Trump’s campaign to end DEI efforts nationwide. It comes one month after an administration memo warned schools they could lose funding for considering race in admissions, scholarships, or any aspect of student life. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Sarah Brown.
