"
After the Trump Justice Department sued Yale following the results of a 2-year Civil Rights investigation which found "long-standing and ongoing" race-based discrimination, the Biden DOJ just dismissed the case without explanation.


On Wednesday, prosecutors submitted a notice to drop the case in the US District Court in the District of Connecticut, calling the dismissal "voluntary."


The Trump DOJ had argued that the Ivy League university had violated federal civil rights law for "at least 50 years," by favoring Black and Hispanic students over Whites and Asians, according to The Hill.

The legal battle represented one of the Trump administration’s moves to challenge affirmative action programs aimed at increasing diversity on campus, which some conservatives consider unfair and illegal.

Yale, which staunchly defended its admission practices, praised the DOJ’s decision to drop the case in a statement, saying it was "gratified" by the decision. -The Hill

"Our admissions process has allowed Yale College to assemble an unparalleled student body, which is distinguished by its academic excellence and diversity," argued the university. "Yale has steadfastly maintained that its process complies fully with Supreme Court precedent, and we are confident that the Justice Department will agree."

The Trump administration notably instituted several measures to prevent universities from considering race as a factor during admissions, even joining a similar lawsuit against Harvard University.

The majority of Asians voted for that shit, probably more-so than Whites. You reap what you sow.

BIDEN ADMINSTRATION MAKES RACIAL DISCRIMINATION LEGAL

Supreme Court Considers Race Discrimination
Colleges using race to determine whether minorities are admitted are violating the law.

This week, the Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases that have the potential to finally end race-based college admissions in the United States. Students for Fair Admissions has filed nearly identical lawsuits against Harvard and the University of North Carolina, accusing both institutions of racial discrimination in their admissions practices.

Basically, these two schools got caught doing what hundreds of colleges and universities are doing across the country and have been doing for years. They cook their admissions processes by lowering the bar for certain minorities to achieve a racially diverse campus. Equality of result over equality of opportunity. Practicing racism to “correct,” or maybe even overcorrect, past racism. Students for Fair Admissions was formed to combat Harvard’s discrimination against qualified Asian candidates in favor of recruiting more black and Hispanic students who are less qualified.

Harvard and UNC naturally claim that they have done no wrong. The Washington Post perfectly encapsulated the view of the Left on the issue, writing that the pursuit of “diversity justifies some intrusion on the Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection, which generally forbids the government to make decisions based on race.” Wow.

The Supreme Court in the past has not exactly been very diligent about handling the issue of raced-based college admissions. In 2003, the High Court allowed race to be a “plus” factor for colleges seeking to construct a diverse student body. In 2016, it affirmed a lower court ruling that upheld the University of Texas’s race “conscious” admissions policy.

Things might be different this time. Chief Justice John Roberts doesn’t like to upset precedent, but he really doesn’t like racial quotas. He stated in 2006, “It is a sordid business, this divvying us up by race.” Also illegal, thanks to the 14th Amendment and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

And let’s not forget unworkable. Race-based admissions, like all the other programs that were spawned out of affirmative action, have caused more harm than good. The American college campus has never been more fractured. People are segregated by their ethnicity and race, with different clubs, different living quarters, even different graduations for minorities. This doesn’t lead to a united society; it only leads to more segregation.

Fuck it, I like segregation. Just as long as we all get to do it. As long as some colleges are allowed to give a + for the white race during the admission process. If you REALLY want freedom, freedom of association in any way you choose is an important freedom.

Ah, but that will never be allowed.

White people and Asians face real institutional racism. But no one else. All others have institutional superiority now, needing lower qualifications for the same admission or the same job. This is wrong, and corrosive to our trust in the competence of any minority. This is why "diversity hire" now means "incompetent".

As Bill Maher put it, it's "the soft bigotry of low expectations", believing that non-white and non-Asian minorities are incapable of succeeding by their own merits.

People should be admitted or hired based entirely on their competence, and never on the color of their skin.

As soon as Hispanics get to be about 50/50 R/D, which is soon approaching, since most Hispanics self-identify as White rather than Native American which is ironically seen as Grubby in most Central American countries, and certainly not Black, the Left will add them to the privileged section. It kinda already does so with the "White Hispanic" bullshit as a glimpse into the future "White Adjacenting" of Hispanics, just like Asians.

Note also it's the concern with family, wealth, delayed gratification, religious belief of any strength, etc. that really flips out Leftists, since their end goal is the end of Adulting and Civilization. To have endless ice cream without work.

The 'university within the university' will live on as a highly segregated and elite skull and bones subculture. The elites are tired of sharing true education with the plebs, they just need workers and a layer of technocrats. The brand name advancement that means so much to the middle class poindexters, struggling on the basis of merit, means nothing to them. They are showing their bitter contempt for the meritocracy.
