United States Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that the Department terminated seven university grants totalling $54 million.

The seven Universities are: University of Southern California, New York University, San Jose State University, University of New Orleans, Johns Hopkins University, City College of New York and University of California, Davis.

In a statement issued by the department on Friday, Duffy explained that the grants were used to advance the green agenda and radical DEI, which were both wasteful.

He added that the grants ran counter to the transportation priorities of the American people.

“The previous administration turned the Department of Transportation into the Department of Woke. I have focused the Department on what matters: safety, making travel great again, and building big, beautiful infrastructure projects.

“It’s time to inject a dose of reality back into our higher education system, and that starts with ending these wasteful and divisive grants,” Duffy said.

Here are the seven university grants that have been cancelled:

1. University of California, Davis – $12M for “accelerating equitable decarbonization” research.

2. City College of New York – About $9M for “equitable transportation for the disadvantaged workforce” research.

3. University of Southern California – About $9M for research on how “the transportation system creates and perpetuates inequities.”

4. New York University – $6M for “e-bikes to low-income travellers in transit deserts” research.

5. San Jose State University – About $6M for research on “intermodal inequities, particularly how improvements to auto travel can benefit higher income.

6. University of New Orleans – $6M for “equitable transit-oriented communities [and] how neighbourhood stabilisation efforts support environmental justice” research.

7. Johns Hopkins University – $6M for research on “hyperlocal pollution exposure inequalities in New York City.
