A federal judge struck down an Education Department grant policy that the administration had used to restrict programs benefiting students from specified race-based categories. The ruling found the government’s approach unlawful and blocked further reliance on the policy, marking a setback for the administration’s effort to condition federal aid on the removal of diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. The decision did not itself settle broader constitutional questions about race-conscious policies, but it prevented enforcement of the challenged grant rule while the litigation continued.
