- U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley struck down the Education Department policy terminating DEI teacher-training grants.
- The February 2025 directive canceled more than $600 million in Teacher Quality Partnership and Supporting Effective Educator Development grants.
- Over 90% of awards—109 grants—were terminated, eliminating 40 university grants in eight states.
- Kelley found the directive lacked discernible DEI criteria and was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act.
