DOJ issues new guidance for preventing unlawful discrimination

When U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi issued a sweeping memorandum on July 29, 2025 to all federal agencies, it became the latest in a forceful line of tactics designed to curtail race‐ and sex‐based diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at educational institutions. The document, “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,” reaffirms that no federal funds may be used to support discrimination, regardless of a program's label or intent, with explicit focus on DEI initiatives that may run counter to federal antidiscrimination laws.

Abstract

When U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi issued a sweeping memorandum on July 29, 2025 to all federal agencies, it became the latest in a forceful line of tactics designed to curtail race‐ and sex‐based diversity, equity, and inclusion practices at educational institutions. The document, “Guidance for Recipients of Federal Funding Regarding Unlawful Discrimination,” reaffirms that no federal funds may be used to support discrimination, regardless of a program's label or intent, with explicit focus on DEI initiatives that may run counter to federal antidiscrimination laws.
