Trump officials went after dozens of colleges. Now they’re rewriting the rules for all of academia

New regulations focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, transgender athletes, antisemitism, and perceived anti-white discrimination. Agencies like the Education Department and Office of Management and Budget are introducing measures to align federal grants and accreditation with the administration’s priorities.
