Universities are still assessing the latest directive from the U.S. Department of Education, which orders educational institutions to stop using race in all aspects of campus life or risk losing federal funding.
NC State said it is reviewing the letter.
In a statement to WFAE, UNC-Chapel Hill’s media relations team said the university is “carefully reviewing” the letter and “continues to comply with the laws addressed in that letter.”
The UNC system already suspended all general education requirements and major-specific requirements related to diversity, equity and inclusion earlier this month, in response to a prior executive order from the Trump administration.
