The #DOJ requested documents from #Yale to determine whether its admissions practices were in compliance with federal #CivilRights #law, & determined that the medical school “continues to intentionally discriminate against applicants based on their race,” despite a 2023 #SCOTUS ruling rejecting race-conscious #AffirmativeAction in college admissions.

#ProfessionalSchool grads from diverse classes get higher #salaries
Study authors—Debanjan Mitra, Peter Golder, and Mariya Topchy—have developed a metric suggesting that graduates benefit financially if they graduate with a diverse peer group. The researchers argue that this evidence should be sufficient to prompt courts to reconsider earlier rulings on race-based #affirmativeaction. They argue that the ruling ending these programs should be reconsidered.

The Trump administration has launched investigations into race-based admissions at Stanford, Ohio State, and UC San Diego medical schools, demanding documentation on applicant data, standardized test scores, and race considerations dating back to 2019. This move escalates the administration's racist campaign targeting selective universities accused of violating a 2023 Supreme Court ruling banning affirmative action. Critics argue this pressures institutions to eliminate diversity considerations, undermining access for underrepresented groups. Ohio State assures compliance, calling the investigation routine.

“White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well & they were not invited to go into a university to college,” #Trump said, an apparent reference to #AffirmativeAction in college admissions. “So I would say in that way, I think it was unfair in certain cases.”

Essay - How the climate conversation went punk
From #SlowFashion to #GuerrillaGardening, the internet has transformed solarpunk, a literary movement, into an alternative lifestyle trend.
Written by Sonal Gupta
Mumbai | Updated: November 20, 2025Excerpt: "In 2020, #SolarPunkFarms cropped up in California as a #communal living space whose inhabitants grow and share their own food. The leftovers are sent to local markets. They have designed their #greenhouse after the animations of #HayaoMiyazaki. In fact, the works of the #StudioGhibli founder have found resonance among solarpunks, as he places nature as a character in his plots. In his visions, nature is at its most beautiful—lush greenery, rays of light, the dew on leaves, and the wind blowing life into trees.
"Though these changes are encouraging, it’s ironic that as we move past dystopian visions, the #capitalists of the world, running in the #AI race, threaten to steer us to the very future. The use of AI itself depletes water resources and generates immense amounts of greenhouse gases and electronic waste. If we are to live in a world where technology exists in harmony with #nature, #activists, stakeholders, and individuals must actively call for more #SustainableSolutions, #AffirmativeAction, and policy changes.
"If cyberpunk warned us of what happens when technology consumes humanity, solarpunk invites us to imagine what is possible when humanity reclaims technology. It reminds us that hope, like sunlight, is a renewable resource too."

FGLI students at elite universities are feeling the impact of Trump Administration policies and the end of affirmative action, but are finding solace in programs that make campuses more welcoming.

Asked by Justice #Sotomayor to delineate differences between the current case & a 2023 decision that dealt with affirmative action, Nelson argued that the prior case “involved the diversity rationale involving an admissions process with a university, not a statute.”
In 2023, #SCOTUS struck down #AffirmativeAction in college admissions, declaring race cannot be a factor & forcing institutions of higher education to look for new ways to achieve diverse student bodies.

The conservative-dominated court, which just two years ago ended #AffirmativeAction in college admissions, could be receptive. At the center of the legal fight is Chief Justice #JohnRoberts, who has long had the landmark #CivilRights law in his sights, from his time as a young lawyer in the Reagan-era #DOJ to his current job.

Racist Lies About College “Quotas” Stoke Support for Trump’s War on Higher Ed
College quotas haven’t existed since 1978, but the right keeps people misinformed. -
"School districts with programs aimed at lifting up Black students, and others, are finding themselves legally vulnerable. The White House is pursuing a reversal of the federal government’s traditional role on race and schools, going after what it calls “illegal #DEI” or diversity, equity and inclusion":

Some Black voters helped Trump get re-elected. This is their reward.

@jaykuo Well, the #Trump version -- #AffirmativeAction for unqualified white people -- is definitely a problem.

In connection with the post I have just made, https://c.im/@jemmesedi/115012825619331824, I note that there are many aspects of the disappearing DEI culture which I will not miss.
These include shadow history and sociology teaching by student life departments, mandatory reading of Robin DiAngelo, and the use of overexpansive definitions of "harm" and "violence" to police speech on campus.
Yet however headline catching these and similar follies have been, they should not distract our attention from the real target of the assault on DEI, the progress made by Black Americans since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
With regard to higher education, Trump and the Claremont Right want to roll back anything other than vestigial gains, by effectively excluding Black Americans from the most prestigious colleges and universities and shunting them off instead into what is little more than a glorified vo-tech track.
In a updated re-enactment of the Du Bois / Booker T Washington debate, the White right will find some allies amongst those Black conservatives who will welcome a return to "business" and "entrepreneurship".
I believe that this push by the right is an ugly attempt to deprive Black Americans of their fair share of the security, wealth, and honor conferred by graduation from prestigious institutes of higher education.
Progressives should oppose this rollback. Rather than lamenting the end of "diversity", we should be thinking of how best to remedy the injustices consequent on the subjugation of African Americans.
Affirmative action for African Americans in higher education is one measure that almost certainly must play a part in this remedy. It might be unpopular, it might have to to be narrowed, its legal and political justification will certainly have to be rethought, but it cannot be abandoned as we think about an America after Trump.

#Trump issued a directive that would require #colleges & #universities to submit reams of new data on #students to check whether they are complying with a #SCOTUS decision that ended race-based #AffirmativeAction. The White House also intensified its campaign against #UCLA which it stripped of hundreds of millions in research funds over a list of issues.

#Trump to sign order requiring #universities disclose #admissions data on #race
Trump on Thurs is expected to sign an order requiring universities to hand over admissions data to prove that they are not engaged in #AffirmativeAction efforts, the White House propagandist Karoline Leavitt posted.
Leavitt did not give details on the order such as the ramifications universities will face if they do not cooperate.

Our relationship was complex and at times fraught, but Dad was my first advisor on #career, #racism in #corporateamerica, and #leadership. He served in #HumanResource and #affirmativeaction (#DEI) leadership roles at #YMCA of the USA and United Church of Christ (#UCC) for most of my pre-adult life.

Seriously? Chanting "Death to the #IDF!" at a concert was not a call for murder? 🤨Regardless, that's not the point.
"Death to the #IDF" is simply "Death to Israel" said in a way that gives antisemites cover.
#Racists like Donald T**** and his MAGAts couch their calls to "End #DEI, #BlackHistoryMonth, #Juneteenth, or #AffirmativeAction" as "promoting equality" ("If we are TRULY equal, showing favoritism to any group is 'racist'.")
A Klan mantra for years. Don't fall for it.

We've LONG known that when #TheOrangeMenace or his #Cult accuses someone of something, it's a Confession.Their argument against #DEI is that it is "#AffirmativeAction" that results in hiring/promoting "less qualified" people simply due to their #race/#gender.
And yet, the result has been to weed out QUALIFIED minorities so less qualified Frat-boys like #Kegstand not only are given jobs they AREN'T qualified for, but then protected when they are shown to be incompetent. 🤨
