Coast Guard ending race-based admissions for officer commissioning program under Trump DEI crackdown

The U.S. Coast Guard is ending race-based admissions for its officer commissioning program as part of the Trump administration’s anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative. The College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative (CSPI) previously included preferences for students from schools meeting racial quotas, which the administration claims violate the Constitution’s equal protection requirements.
