DEI was SUNY's 'secret sauce.' Now race-based scholarships are under review. What we know – Democrat and Chronicle
SUNY has reportedly told its colleges and universities to review any scholarships targeted to specific races, genders or historically unrepresented groups due to new legal constraints posed by a 2023 Supreme Court decision on affirmative action.

The new policy came to light in the midst of a Trump administration push to uproot racial preferences and efforts to promote diversity, equity and inclusion, known by the shorthand DEI.
