UC sees the good in faculty diversity. Trump's DOJ says it 'may be' illegal discrimination
The Trump administration said Thursday that it is opening an investigation into UC, alleging that university goals to increase faculty diversity "may be" illegal sex- and race-based hiring discrimination.
In a brief, 419-word letter to UC President Michael V. Drake, the Justice Department's top civil rights lawyer said it had "reasonable cause" to believe that UC has "certain employment practices that discriminate against employees, job applicants, and training program participants based on race and sex."
The letter pointed to an ambitious UC plan to add at least 20,000 students by 2030 — while increasing graduation rates, the share of students who receive undergraduate diplomas within four years, and access to UC campuses for racial minorities and other minority groups that have historically been underrepresented in higher education. UC announced the plan in 2021 and later increased the enrollment goal to up to 33,000 if enough resources, such as funding, became available.
The Justice Department appeared to zero in on small sections of the extensive "UC 2030 Capacity Plan" that chart out desires to increase diversity among graduate students and faculty, including adding 1,100 tenure-track faculty.
