Five universities to be probed over DACA scholarships

The Trump administration said on Wednesday it would investigate five universities over scholarship programmes for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients, reports Ashleigh Fields for The Hill.

The Education Department probe involves the University of Louisville, the University of Nebraska Omaha, the University of Miami, the University of Michigan and Western Michigan University. It comes after the Legal Insurrection Foundation’s Equal Protection Project submitted complaints to the department’s Office for Civil Rights, according to a press release.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor said the scholarships aimed to “deny our fellow citizens the opportunity to compete for scholarships because they were born in the United States”.
