In a memo Friday, the Education Department gave an ultimatum to stop using “racial preferences” as a factor in admissions, financial aid, hiring or other areas. Schools are being given 14 days to end any practice that treats students or workers differently because of their race.
The sweeping demand could upend education in myriad ways. The memo targets college admissions offices, ordering an end to personal essays or writing prompts that can be used to predict an applicant’s race. It forbids dorms or graduation events for students of certain races. Efforts to recruit teachers from underrepresented groups could be seen as discrimination.
It’s meant to correct what the memo described as rampant discrimination in education, often against white and Asian students.
The joke is on the Trump administration, it doesn’t even matter if they are going to withhold all the federal funding anyway.
Exactly … why follow orders from the government if they are not going to support you if you disobey or obey
Let the government spend their money on fighting you because they’re going to fight you if you are going to do anything or nothing anyway.
“Since it is logical to conclude that you will kill us in any event, I choose not to cooperate.”
A literal traitor is running the show.
Pathetic country.
…and rapist.
I’ve been told by admin at a few different institutions that DEI helps bring more white students into the institution.
They could put limits on international students (which also means limiting money coming into the school and into the country), but going purely based on merit means that Asian students would be pushing out white Americans.
Which is what they want. Immigrants always have the looming threat of getting deported over their head. Which means they are more willing to do illegal shit for their employer, while also being heaps cheaper.
Schools are being given 14 days to end any practice that treats students or workers differently because of their race.
So… They’ve solved racism?
So only the DEI schools will suffer if the entire DOE is defunded? Right. Why bother making ‘corrections’ for this if the threat is already there for everyone to lose funding anyway?
The SCOTUS already held that schools cannot consider race in their admissions. But schools can still use geography, so they often give preference to applicants from disadvantaged neighborhoods. I don’t think Trump’s latest EO is going to change that.
They need desperately poor educated people.
