45 Schools Under Federal Investigation Over a Small Diversity Project
SHARE

The federal government’s recent actions have brought attention to a program aimed at promoting diversity in business school faculty, sparking controversy and debate across the nation. The program in question, known as the Ph.D. Project, has been targeted as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle diversity initiatives in educational institutions.

Established in 1994, the Ph.D. Project has been dedicated to increasing the representation of Black, Hispanic, and Native American individuals pursuing doctoral degrees in business. Over the years, the program has seen significant success, with the number of doctoral degrees awarded to underrepresented groups rising from 294 to 1,700. Many of these graduates have gone on to teach in universities and colleges nationwide, contributing to a more diverse academic landscape.

Despite its positive impact, the Ph.D. Project now finds itself under scrutiny, with the Department of Education launching an investigation into 45 graduate programs affiliated with the initiative. Among the institutions being investigated are prestigious Ivy League universities like Yale and Cornell, as well as public universities such as Ohio State and Arizona State. The investigation is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to eliminate diversity preferences in education and ensure equal treatment for all individuals.

In response to the investigation, the Ph.D. Project has stated that it is open to all individuals, regardless of race or ethnicity, aligning itself with the administration’s push for merit-based evaluations. The program’s annual revenues, totaling around $2 million, are supported by various corporate partners, including the KPMG Foundation and LinkedIn.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has emphasized the importance of evaluating students based on merit and accomplishment rather than race, underscoring the administration’s commitment to fairness and equality in education. In addition to the 45 schools under investigation, the Department of Education is also looking into seven other institutions for alleged violations related to race-based scholarships and segregation.
