Duke University Probed by Education Department Over Civil Rights Violations

The US Education Department has launched an investigation into Duke University and the Duke Law Journal over allegations of civil rights violations. This is the latest move by the Trump administration to probe schools over their hiring and admissions processes. The investigation will examine whether the university and the law journal have discriminated against individuals based on their race, color, or national origin. The probe comes amid the administration's broader scrutiny of affirmative action policies in higher education. The Education Department did not provide specific details about the nature of the alleged violations, but the investigation underscores the ongoing debate over diversity and inclusivity in academia.
