Universities under investigation for racial discrimination

 Trending Politics:

The Biden-era push for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in higher education is now facing an aggressive crackdown as the Trump administration launches investigations into more than 50 universities accused of engaging in race-based discrimination. The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is scrutinizing these institutions under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in federally funded programs.

Schools and colleges across the U.S. have until Friday to comply with the administration’s directive to eliminate diversity programs that allegedly employ racial preferences or risk losing federal funding. The OCR investigations target 45 universities accused of partnering with “The Ph.D. Project,” a program intended to help minority students obtain a doctorate.

The government contends that these universities violated Title VI by participating in a program that limits eligibility based on race. Additionally, six universities are under investigation for allegedly awarding race-based scholarships, while another is being scrutinized for reportedly running a racially segregated program.

Universities should base admissions on the merits of the student and not what they look like or who their parents are.  That is not only best for the students but also for the universities.  Can you imagine a sports team based on DEI instead of the merits of the athlete?

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...
