The U.S. Justice Department has begun an investigation into the admission policies of five California universities to see if any still employ Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion practices.

The latest action comes after the U.S. Department of Education said it was investigating 52 universities for alleged racial discrimination earlier this month.

The Justice Department is investigating four California universities over possible 'illegal DEI' in admissions. The universities say they do not illegally consider race when accepting students.
