The Well being and Human Providers company confirmed that $108 million in Nationwide Institute of Well being (NIH) analysis funding for Duke College has been frozen as a result of racial discrimination at its medical college, an company official advised The Epoch Occasions on July 30.
The federal company, together with the Division of Schooling, can also be requiring Duke to create a “Benefit and Civil Rights Committee” to guarantee that federal grants are spent on analysis, medical schooling, and coaching—“not race,” HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. mentioned in a July 28 launch, earlier than the funding freeze was confirmed.
