The Education Department on Monday announced that it was starting an investigation at Duke University and Duke Law Journal on alleged racial biases to select new editors.
The office office of the Education Department (OCR) cited the report that the law Journal broadcast a packet for school “affinity groups” in 2024 about the application process to join the Journal in the new year. Each applicant was asked to write a 12-page memorandum, analyzing the decision of an appellate court and the personal statement of the 500-word, which would be assessed on a point-based grading system with their first year GPA.
However, applicants of these “intimacy groups” were allegedly given an opportunity to score additional marks if their statements referred to their “breed or ethnicity” and to explain how to 10 points to promote their “membership” in an underpared group. ,

The OCR believes that this action may be a possible violation of the title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Linda McMahon, secretary of education, said, “If Duke illegally gives preference treatment to the applicants of Law Journal or Medical School based on the irreversible characteristics of those students, it is an opponent not only for the Civil Rights Act, but for the qualitative character of educational excellence,” said Linda McMahon, Secretary, Education. In a statement“Illegal discriminatory practices under the Constitution, Constitution, Antidicrimination Act, and Supreme Court examples have become very common in our educational institutions. The Trump administration will not allow them to continue.”

Along with Kennedy Junior, a joint letter was sent to Duke University, requesting the school to “review all policies and practices in Duke Health, for the illegal use of race preferences, take immediate action to improve all those who complete the best and ethnis for the best and all the necessary organizations to improve the best and ethnis to complete the best and ethnis. It will be durable to ensure the necessary reforms to ensure.
The Department is requesting the Duke University to establish a “Eligibility and Civil Rights Committee” to help solve violations of civil rights further.

Duke University has come on fire several times for racial preferences and push for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in the last year.
Last year, Fox News Digital reported a 2021 plan for Duke Medical School, titled “Discomminal Racism and Advanceing Equity, Diversity and School of Medicine”. The guide called standards such as dress code, timeliness and individualism as an example of “white domination culture”.

“It was not a pledge for better drug, but was a pledge for the leftist ideology. And so, I felt that if I did not say anything, I was approved what I was in the pledge,” Kongar said at that time.
