Diversity when it comes to college admissions is going to take a backseat to what REALLY should matter…Students should be judged on their merits without taking race into consideration. This is discrimination to whites! Obama’s policy “encouraged” schools to take race into consideration during the admissions process. How is this fair to a student who has the same qualifications but just happens to be white or Asian? Harvard has gotten into hot water recently for having this policy and discriminating against Asian students (see video below).

“RACE-NEUTRAL APPROACH”

ABC reports:

The Trump administration is moving to rescind Obama-era guidance that encouraged schools to take a person’s race into account to encourage diversity in admissions, a U.S. official said Tuesday.

The shift would give schools and universities the federal government’s blessing to take a race-neutral approach to the students they consider for admission.

A formal announcement was expected later Tuesday from the Justice and Education departments, according to the official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan had not yet been disclosed.

The guidance from the Obama administration gave schools a framework for “considering race to further the compelling interests in achieving diversity and avoiding racial isolation.” That approach replaced Bush-era policy from a decade earlier.

The new guidance will not have the force of law, but schools will presumably be able to defend themselves from lawsuits by following administration policy.

TUCKER CARLSON TOOK ON THE ISSUE:

The Supreme Court in 2016 gave affirmative action policies a narrow victory in 2016 by upholding a University of Texas program that takes into account race in deciding whom to admit. That decision was authored by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who announced his retirement last week.
