None of these goals are illegal : Universities struggle to respond to funding threats – POLITICO

Public universities are quickly backtracking on decades of diversity initiatives to avoid the ire of the Trump administration and protect billions in federal funding even though there s little evidence those moves will shield them.

President Donald Trump is seeking to punish universities that allowed pro-Palestinian student encampment protests and touted efforts to attract a more diverse student body. He s launched dozens of investigations led by the Justice and Education departments and has frozen billions in federal funding to several schools.

In response, many flagship universities which are often the largest and best-resourced public institutions in their states have shuttered their campus diversity offices or restructured them to avoid drawing attention.

Trump seems to have stirred up a massive cloud of dust that is engulfing an already confusing nest of bureaucratic rules. Big opportunity for lawyers.
