The Trump administration is directing the Justice Department to explore whether it can sue institutions of higher education over affirmative action policies that the White House deems discriminatory against white applicants, The New York Times is reporting.
The Times based its report on a document that it obtained.
The internal announcement to the Justice Department's civil rights division puts out a call for lawyers interested in working on a new project focused on "investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions," the Times reported.
Supporters and detractors of the project told the Times that the project was clearly going after programs that benefit black and Latino students and other groups.
Roger Clegg, a key official in the civil rights division in the Reagan and Bush administrations, told the Times that the project was "long overdue."
"

The civil rights laws were deliberately written to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is frequently the case that not only are whites discriminated against now, but frequently Asian-Americans are as well," Clegg said.
But Kristin Clarke, president of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said the project is "misaligned" with the central objectives of the department's civil rights division.
"It would be a dog whistle that could invite a lot of chaos and unnecessarily create hysteria among colleges and universities who may fear that the government may come down on them for their efforts to maintain diversity on their campuses," Clarke told the Times.

Well that's one biased and incorrect way to describe it.
Asians are probably hurt the most.

Translation: The accusation is 100% valid but if you proceed, we will declare your attempt to stop racism as racism.

If she is white you can bet HER kids will never step aside from an opportunity they want for the sake of "diversity" but she sure as Hell will volunteer other peoples' kids to do it.

This perfectly describes the Dear Colleague letter OCR sent out regarding sexual violence.

As long as DOJ is going after these schools for discriminating against any applicant (white, Asian, black, etc.), which is what it sounds like, I don't see a problem.
The government is required to guarantee equal protection of the law.

In college, I worked for the student government at UGA. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was the affirmative action candidate.
You don't know white privilege until you have two black girls having a heated argument in the student union courtyard about some white boy.
I learned a lot those years, and yes, they are all pink on the inside. You're welcome.

The Academic Magnet for 6th, 7th and 8th grade in Shreveport is Caddo Middle Magnet. They've had a 40% protected quota for blacks since their creation. Whites who score much higher than the average accepted black are rejected to meet the quota.
So, they got sued by white parents for racial discrimination. No problem. They changed the rule. Now they have a 40% quota for kids whose parents are on welfare.
