Justice Department Says Federal Education Aid Cannot Be Tied to Unconstitutional Race-Based Criteria
PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE — Today, the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel issued an opinion clarifying the limits on the Department of Education’s authority to consider race when administering the Magnet Schools Assistance Program (MSAP). MSAP is a federal grant program designed to promote voluntary school desegregation and expand educational opportunities for students through competitive grants to school districts. The opinion reaffirms the federal government’s longstanding support for magnet schools while ensuring that federal assistance is not conditioned on unconstitutional race‑based criteria.
