Amid President Trump's push against DEI, the Education Department has opened investigations into a diversity-related program it says is connected to three California colleges. The department said it is investigating whether the program amounts to illegal race-based discrimination.

The notifications came exactly a month after the department issued sweeping guidance threatening to pull funding from colleges that do not eliminate all considerations of race from policies and programs.

The Trump administration announced that they're launching probes for possible discrimination into more than 50 schools across the country, with the University of Minnesota being one of them.
