The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill agreed not to use or analyze racial data in its admissions process and to adopt race-blind policies for scholarships as part of a settlement with the Trump administration announced Monday.
The agreement with the Education and Justice Departments also requires UNC to hire a coordinator to respond to complaints of antisemitism and provide mandatory antisemitism training to all students, faculty and staff. In addition, UNC can’t partner with any bridge or pipeline program that takes into account a student’s race or ethnicity. In exchange, the Education Department will close its 18 investigations into UNC, and the Justice Department will end a compliance review that began April 18, 2025. UNC is not required to pay anything, as some universities have.
