The Department of Justice (DOJ) has ordered U.S. law schools to halt diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) admissions practices, citing discrimination concerns. Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasizes President Trump's executive order for 'merit-based opportunity' and calls for the repeal of ABA's Standard 206. The ABA has suspended enforcement of the standard and is revising it. Bondi states that race-based preferences in admissions are illegal and urges law schools to comply with anti-DEI directive.
