A federal judge has permanently blocked two directives from the Trump administration that sought to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs in U.S. schools and universities. The court ruling prevents the administration from cutting federal funds to educational institutions that continue to implement DEI initiatives. The judge overseeing the case is Stephanie Gallagher. The decision underscores ongoing legal challenges related to the Trump administration's efforts to reshape policies in education. Meanwhile, the administration is also advancing a new vision for apprenticeships, although workplace safety regulations remain entangled in legal disputes.
