Duke University Faces Federal Funding Threat Over Discrimination Probe

Duke University Faces Federal Funding Threat Over Discrimination Probe

The government is looking into Duke University because they think the school might be treating people unfairly based on their race.

Specifically, they are looking at how the Duke Law Journal chooses its editors, and also at how Duke hires people and decides who gets into the school and gets scholarships.

If the government finds that Duke is breaking the law, the school could lose some of the money it gets from the government.

Some people are worried that this investigation might stop students and professors from being able to share their ideas freely.
