Justice Department Finds Three NSF STEM Programs Unconstitutional
The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel has ruled that three National Science Foundation STEM programs are unconstitutional due to their race- and sex-based criteria. The NSF is advised not to continue these programs in their current form, and approximately $104 million of funding is affected. The ruling follows a request from the NSF to review several programs for compliance with equal-protection principles.
