Vulnerable Dem Jon Tester turns on Biden admin over DEI after Montana universities stripped of federal funds
Fox News
Tester took aim at Biden and the Department of Education for denying federal funding to Montana universities based on failure to meet DEI standards.
"I’m calling on the Biden Administration and the Department of Education to immediately reverse this decision, because Montana’s students are more important than [made-up] D.C. hiring practices."

Tester, who is fighting for his political life in a competitive re-election match in a traditionally Republican state, first voiced his concerns about the grant rejection due to insufficiently diverse hiring practices in a letter to Education Secretary Miguel Cardona last month.
