Stanford University under federal investigation for DEI teacher program
Stanford University is under federal investigation for a teacher program that prioritizes National Board Certification for educators of color. The Department of Education is examining whether the program violates Title VI, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin.
Stanford University is under federal investigation for promoting a teacher program that helps educators of color receive National Board Certifications. The Department of Education launched its investigation into Stanford's National Board Resource Center to determine whether it violated Title VI. The program, partnered with the California Teachers Association, provides full funding for certification support services to selected Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) educators. Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey stated that conditioning access to National Board Certification based on skin color is discriminatory. The investigation follows the introduction of the STOP DEI bill in Congress, which aims to prevent schools from receiving federal funds if they discriminate in student aid decisions.
