概要
特朗普在本届任期内始终将矛头对准美国顶尖院校
其政府曾试图冻结联邦拨款
人权倡导者对言论自由、正当程序和学术自由表示担忧
华盛顿8月6日路透电——唐纳德·特朗普政府周四针对更多大学的招生种族与多元化政策、亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动等问题展开调查，这是联邦政府针对美国院校的最新一轮打击行动。
司法部援引一项联邦调查的结果，指控杜克大学法学院的招生政策存在偏向黑人和西班牙裔申请人的歧视性做法。

司法部称，该法学院“在招生中强调种族多元化”，且“在学术资质相同的情况下，黑人或西班牙裔申请人被杜克法学院录取的概率远高于白人或亚裔申请人”。
司法部表示，其已寻求达成自愿和解协议。
“杜克大学致力于遵守法律，并将以符合我们学术使命的方式继续践行这一承诺，”该校表示，并补充称正在审查司法部的来函。
今年早些时候，司法部就加州大学医学院和耶鲁大学医学院的招生政策提出了相同指控。两所学校均称其招生做法以择优录取为根基。
特朗普将多元化目标污蔑为反择优录取、歧视白人和男性的政策，他已签署行政令废除相关多元化举措。而人权倡导者则表示，多元化政策旨在弥补边缘化群体长期遭受的不公。
2023年，最高法院在推翻哈佛和北卡罗来纳大学的种族考量招生计划时，否决了大学的平权行动政策。
另有消息称，教育部正就亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动调查加州圣何塞州立大学和旧金山州立大学。
该部表示，其收到了针对这两所大学的投诉，指控校方未能回应校园内的反犹主义指控。该部还提到，有报告称校园内存在针对犹太学生的敌意、“反犹涂鸦”以及扰乱课堂的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动。
两所大学均谴责包括反犹主义和伊斯兰恐惧症在内的一切形式的歧视。
特朗普政府称亲巴勒斯坦抗议者是反犹主义者并支持极端分子。
包括部分犹太团体在内的抗议者则表示，政府错误地将对以色列袭击加沙及其占领巴勒斯坦领土的批评贴上反犹主义标签，将支持巴勒斯坦权利的行为等同于支持极端主义。
特朗普政府已就亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动、多元化举措、跨性别政策和气候项目对多所大学展开调查并威胁暂停其拨款，此举引发了人们对言论自由、正当程序和学术自由的担忧。
周一，教育部长琳达·麦克马洪呼吁各大学在2026年底前落实改革措施。美国最大的教师工会全国教育协会则敦促各大学拒绝这一呼吁。

US scrutinizes more schools over admissions practices, diversity and pro-Palestinian protests

Summary
Trump has targeted top US schools throughout this term
His administration has attempted to freeze federal funding
Rights advocates raise concerns about free speech, due process and academic freedom
WASHINGTON, Aug 6 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration targeted more universities on Thursday over issues like race and diversity in admissions and pro-Palestinian protests, marking the federal government’s latest crackdown against U.S. schools.
The Department of Justice alleged admissions practices at Duke University School of Law were biased in favor of Black and Hispanic applicants, citing findings of a federal probe.

The DOJ alleged the law school “emphasized racial diversity in admissions” and that “a Black or Hispanic applicant has a substantially higher likelihood of admission to Duke Law than a white or Asian applicant with the same academic credentials.”
The DOJ said it sought a voluntary resolution agreement.
“Duke is committed to complying with the law and will continue to do so in a manner that is consistent with our academic mission,” the university said, adding it was reviewing a DOJ letter.
The DOJ alleged the same this year about admissions practices in medical schools at the University of California and Yale. The schools said their practices were rooted in merit.
Trump, who casts diversity goals as anti-merit and discriminatory against white people and men, has signed orders to dismantle them. Rights advocates say diversity practices address historic inequities for marginalized groups.
The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at colleges in 2023 when it struck down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
Separately, the Education Department said it was probing California’s San Jose State University and San Francisco State University over pro-Palestinian protests.
The department said it received complaints about the universities that alleged failure to respond to antisemitism accusations on campuses. It noted reports of hostility towards Jewish students, displays of “antisemitic graffiti” and pro-Palestinian protests that it said disrupted classes.
Both universities have condemned all forms of discrimination, including antisemitism and Islamophobia.
Trump’s administration alleges pro-Palestinian protesters are antisemitic and support extremists.
Protesters, including some Jewish groups, say the government wrongly labels criticism of Israel’s assault on Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian territories as antisemitism and advocacy for Palestinian rights as support for extremism.
Trump has targeted universities with probes and funding suspension threats over pro-Palestinian protests, diversity initiatives, transgender policies and climate programs, leading to free speech, due process and academic freedom concerns.
On Monday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon called on universities to commit to reforms by the end of 2026. The National Education Association, the largest U.S. teachers’ union, urged universities to reject her call.
