Department of Ed threatens Pitt s funding for demoting professor who said affirmative action harms students | The College Fix
The University of Pittsburgh is under federal investigation for allegedly retaliating against a professor for his views and practicing overtly race-based admission and hiring.
The Department of Education informed Pitt Chancellor Patrick Gallagher in a letter Thursday that Norman Wang may have been disparately treated on account of his Asian background as well.
Pitt s affiliated hospital fired Wang from his position as director of a fellowship program this summer, in response to a white paper he published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
