Early this month, Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber went through the woke “anti-racist” rite of confession: he published a letter confessing the ongoing racism at his university under his leadership. Such confessions serve to prop up the ridiculous claim that any racial disparities are ipso facto proof of “institutional racism.” Claims like Eisgruber’s are less a confession of actual fact and more a rhetorical weapon to push Marxist critical race theory.

Yet the Department of Education (DOE) decided to call Princeton’s bluff. According to a letter obtained by The Washington Examiner, the DOE launched an investigation into the Ivy League university. Princeton, like other schools that receive federal funding, pledges to abide by certain federal laws in order to receive federal funding.

Since Eisgruber became president in 2013, Princeton has received more than $75 million in federal Title IV taxpayer funds and the school “has repeatedly represented and warranted to the U.S. Department of Education Princeton’s compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” the letter reads. “Title VI provides no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

“On September 2, 2020, you admitted Princeton’s educational program is and for decades has been racist,” the letter notes. “Among other things, you said ‘[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton …’ and ‘[r]acist assumptions…remain embedded in structures of the University itself.'”

“Because of racism, you announced race-based ‘diversity’ measures for hiring, procurement, teaching, fellowship, and research funding,” the letter adds.

“Based on its admitted racism, the U.S. Department of Education ic concerned Princeton’s nondiscrimination and equal opportunity assurances in its Program Participation Agreements from at least 2013 to the present may have been false,” the letter explains. “Finally, the Department is further concerned Princeton’s many nondiscrimination and equal opportunity claims to students, parents, and consumers in the market for education certificates may have been false, misleading, and actionable substantial misrepresentations in violation of” U.S. law.

Therefore, the DOE is opening an investigation into Princeton and may end up removing funds from the university — and demanding Princeton pay back taxpayer funds it should not have received. “Based on the facts, the Secretary of Education may consider measures against Princeton for false Program Participation Agreement nondiscrimination assurances, including an action to recover funds.”

The Department of Education should also bring in the Department of Justice. Getting money back is a small matter, but putting people in jail for breaking any number of laws is another matter.

Also, the taking back of other monies the government has given to Princeton for research grants would mess 'em up bad. This is about $300 million per year.

I can't wait until he defines his use if the words "systemic racism", et all, as completely meaningless to the real world.

"Oh well ofc we have no real racism as per our filing of government regulatory documents... we were talking about feelings and microaggressions not real oppression "

I can't wait.

That's ok - the DOE has it's own SWAT teams to do Zero-dark-thirty no-knock warrants.

Well he is creating real systemic racism by discriminating against Asian applicants, so he is completely right about this as his school violates Title VI. Kinda ironic!

Schools don't care about anything other than money. As soon as there will be real threat of losing $$$, all discrimination of Asians and whites will go out of window.
If Feds would give them money for excluding blacks, schools would throw blacks under the bus faster than we can blink.
BTW Jews are discriminated as well - my few Jewish students have just as hard time getting jobs as Fucking White males (compared to womyn etc).

It was my understanding that the Asian vs Harvard enrollment acceptance records showed a favoritism for white jews and an extreme underrepresentation of qualified goyem.

likely the "favored" Jews simply came from well-connected families which are abundant around Harvard area. I have seen nothing of that type around here.

Just like the alphabet agencies, universities are Matryoshka Dolls. The diversity sacrificial lambs are the LumpenCampus of routine student body denizens, hoping for a leg up in ruling class advancement/employment through poindexter nose-to-the-grindstones and university magic carpet connections. The inner shells of privilege and hierarchy remain unfazed and hopefully ungazed.

Mr. SJW KommieKunt Pres is just pandertarding and groveltarding over the sacrificial LumpenCampus. It's a bucket of laughs if his debased lack of integrity results in an equivalent loss of hard cash.

Let's call it Princeton CNN.

would be interesting to see the odds of a non-connected student of getting in. If they protect the well-heeled white kids and allow POC in easier, then a poor white kid would indeed have an extreme disadvantage. the SJW's dont care about this because white is white as far as their critical race minds care.

Headset suggested Police Unions were getting tossed under the bus - defunding first to shore up Teachers' pensions...

This thread got me thinking along similar lines - maybe expansion of lib arts degrees and college staffers was always a Dem Power play. College indoctrinated more likely to vote left, plus lots of Dem-voting jobs and offices created
