💨 Abstract

The Trump administration has suspended $108 million in research funding to Duke University, accusing it of racial discrimination via affirmative action. The National Institutes of Health halted the funds after the Department of Health and Human Services and the Education Department alleged racial preferences in the university's hiring and admissions. This action is part of a broader campaign against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, which the administration claims discriminate against white and Asian American people.
