DOJ believes that the definition of HSIS is unconstitutional and will not defend it

The country’s approximately 600 Hispanic American service agencies lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year from the federal government, after the Justice Department said it would not defend the program to prevent the program from violating the lawsuit, alleging that the definition of the current definition of HSIS is unconstitutional. The lawsuit challenges the requirement that undergraduates at a university or university must obtain at least Hispanic population in order to obtain HSI funding.

U.S. attorney General D. John Sauer wrote to House Speaker Mike Johnson, who on July 25, the Justice Department “determines these provisions violate the equally protected part of the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Articles.” Federal law requires Justice Department officials to notify Congress when they decide to avoid defending the law on unconstitutional grounds.

Saul cited a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prohibits affirmative action in student admissions, saying: “The Supreme Court explained'[o]Utight racial balance is “obviously unconstitutional” and said: “Its precedent clearly shows that the government lacks any legitimate interest in the distinction between universities based on whether “the designated number of seats in each class” is “occupied by individuals from preferred races.”

Washington Free Beacona conservative outlet, first reported in a letter Friday. The Ministry of Justice subsequently provided Internal Advanced ED This letter, but no further comments or interviews.

Free beacon “This letter may clarify the end of the HSI grant, which the Trump administration is now taking steps to reduce,” the education department wrote in an email, but did not provide Internal Advanced ED Interview or answer further written questions.

Just because the administration has abandoned its defense of the program, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s over, or the group’s students attend fair admissions and Tennessee won their lawsuit filed in June. The Hispanic Colleges and College Association filed an intervention late last month asking U.S. District Court Judge Katherine A. Crytzer to join the group. She has not ruled yet, but Linda McMahon, the current defendant’s Ministry of Education and Education Minister, did not object to the intervention.

Students’ legal complaints about fair admission and Tennessee require Crytzer to declare the program’s race-based requirement unconstitutional, but does not necessarily have to terminate the program entirely. Fair admissions to students is a fit for Harvard University and the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, which proposed the 2023 Supreme Court decision to prohibit affirmative action in admissions. In lawsuits regarding the HSI program, the group and Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti now believes that the admissions ruling means that the University of Tennessee and the University cannot take affirmative action to increase the registration of Hispanic students in order to qualify for HSI funding.

Deborah Santiago, co-founder and CEO of Excelencia Education, which promotes Latino students’ success, said Friday that the education sector in June “started a competition to award HSIS this fiscal year’s grant.”

“There are now suggestions to the Department of Education, and they say they will allocate,” San Diego said. The program will pay more than $350 million in funding this fiscal year, which is for faculty development, facilities and other purposes.

“The program does not require any money to go to Hispanic at all,” she said. To qualify a university or university for the course, at least half of the students must be low-income, except for the requirement that a quarter of Hispanic is required.

“The value of such programs has actually been investing in institutions with high income, first-generation students,” San Diego said.
