The U.S. Department of Education has launched a new investigation into Harvard University’s undergraduate admissions practices, according to Reuters. The inquiry centers on whether the school may still be considering race in ways that conflict with the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling ending affirmative-action admissions policies.

The case adds another layer of pressure on the Ivy League institution, which has already been under intense scrutiny over how it evaluates applicants after the high court’s decision. Federal officials are reviewing whether Harvard’s current process complies with the law and the new admissions standard established by the ruling.

The investigation reflects a broader national fight over equal access, selection standards, and the role of race in higher education. Supporters of the ruling argue admissions should rely on race-neutral criteria, while critics warn the change could reduce diversity at selective universities.

No findings of wrongdoing have been announced. Harvard has not publicly responded to the new probe in the Reuters report.
