DOE to Scrap Race-Based Criteria for Federal Student Grants Following Legal Notice

The US Department of Education announced plans to alter its race-based criteria in federal student grants following a legal notice released on Tuesday. The changes aim to revise rules governing race-based preferences in grant allocations. This move comes as part of an ongoing lawsuit filed by the Young America's Foundation against the department's policies. The exact nature and timing of these revised guidelines remain unclear at this point.
