The Department of Education has launched a civil rights investigation into Duke University amid the Trump administration's crackdown on higher-learning institutions.

The U.S. Department of Education is investigating claims that the Duke Law Journal considers race, color, or national origin when selecting its members. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services is conducting a separate probe related to discrimination tied to recipients of HHS funding.

The Education Department launched investigations into five universities on Wednesday over scholarships that the schools offer to undocumented students, including Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients.
