Race, Education, and the Law After SFFA v. Harvard: A Two-Part Panel on the U.S. Department of Education’s Dear Colleague Letter
In February 2025, the Trump U.S. Department of Education issued a Dear Colleague Letter responding to the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. The guidance seeks to clarify the boundaries of permissible action under the decision — emphasizing what schools cannot do and offering limited pathways for institutions to support DEI efforts. This two-part webinar series critically examines the Letter’s implications, limitations, and the legal uncertainty it introduces for educational institutions seeking to preserve equity-focused programs.
