U.S. Dept. of Education investigating 2 Michigan universities for alleged exclusionary scholarships under DACA

The education department drew attention to the University of Wisconsin’s Dreamer scholarship and Western Michigan University’s WMU Undocumented/DACA Scholarship.

Kay Jarvis, director of public affairs at the University of Wisconsin, responded to Wednesday’s announcement, saying, “The university has received a letter of notification relating to this matter. We have no further comment.” CBS Detroit has reached out to Western Michigan University for comment and is awaiting a response.

Last week, the same department announced it was launching a separate investigation into the University of Wisconsin following the arrests of Chinese nationals in a number of pathogen smuggling cases.
