The referenced videos were not provided on June 3 about Title VI investigation, and federal officials said they had not reached any conclusions.The federal agency said its investigation will “examine whether ASU subjects its students to illegal discrimination through its DEI policies in admissions, recruitment, scholarships, tutoring, and the provision of educational support.”
