flag The U.S. canceled a $1M grant to UNC’s preschool teacher program over DEI language, citing policy shifts.

flag The U.S. Department of Education has canceled a $1 million federal grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s SCRIPT-NC program, which trains preschool teachers to support children with disabilities, citing language related to diversity, equity, and inclusion as conflicting with current federal priorities. flag The cancellation, part of a broader Trump administration effort, affects the program’s second year, cutting $200,000 in funding and jeopardizing future support. flag Originally awarded under the Biden administration, the grant had supported about 10,000 students across 13 community colleges through training and resources. flag UNC-Chapel Hill plans to appeal, while the department redirects funds to other special education initiatives. flag The move reflects a shift from prior policies that encouraged diversity in grant applications.
