Trump administration halts $350M in minority college grants: Is this the end of race-based funding in education?

The Trump administration has halted $350M in federal grants for minority-serving colleges, ending decades of race-based education funding. Programs for Hispanic-Serving Institutions and others are frozen, though HBCUs remain funded. Officials call the shift a move toward merit-based aid, while critics warn it will widen racial inequities. Lawsuits and congressional backlash are already mounting.
