The initiative, which will reportedly be overseen by a DOJ Civil Rights Division heavy with Trump-appointees, would be charged with hiring attorneys to explore investigations and possible litigation related to intentional race-based discrimination in college and university admissions, the Times reported.
The projects reveal prompted immediate concern from civil rights advocates, with Kristen Clarke of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law calling the action deeply disturbing.
It would be a dog whistle that could invite a lot of chaos and unnecessarily create hysteria among colleges and universities who may fear that the government may come down on them for their efforts to maintain diversity on their campuses, Clarke told the Times.
This would mark only the latest disturbing reversal in how the federal government interprets civil rights law since Jeff Sessions became Attorney General. Last week, DOJ lawyers argued that federal civil rights law did not, in fact, apply to discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Equality before the law.
Allow them to discriminate as long as they accept no Federal money in any kind.
I hope so, but I would just be happy if they purged all the Obama hires. Oh wait, civil service jobs? Have them checking something innocuous in Winnemucca.
Case in-point: Michelle Obama.

Yes!
Content of character not color of skin. How easy that is forget when you’re a politically correct hater.
And even more discrimination against those of Asian descent.

But Jeff Sessions is a wonderful person, bullied by the awful Trump, defended by everyone, left, right and center. I want to watch this iteration of the Swamp Twister Game! Gonna be fun!

I read that, as well as the original U of Iowa article. Lots of good comments at the Iowa site, but my favorite was a response to a nasty response: [To OP] “Forget about [nasty responder]. He lacks cognitive privilege.”
Commie rag Mother Jones.
When my son was looking at colleges and admissions he showed me a web site where you plug in you GPA, SAT score, race and sex.
Put in Asian male you are hosed.
Progressives punishing achievement.
President Trump is fighting back against liberal narratives and Obama/Holder/Lynch/Bill/Hillary/DNC/MSM/etc. almost destroying the nation.
Mother Jones, eh? Gee, I sure wonder who she voted for in 2008, 2012 and 2016.
Would it have been the typical lying, race-baiting leftist?
....It would be a dog whistle that could invite a lot of chaos and unnecessarily create hysteria among colleges and universities....
Hysteria coming to a safe space on lunatic liberal campuses. This will be fun.
The description of "impudent Swabian," given by his fellow pupil Hans Byland, belongs to this period. "Sure of himself, his gray felt hat pushed back on his thick, black hair, he strode energetically up and down in in a rapid, I might almost say crazy, tempo of a restless spirit which carries a whole world in itself," Byland has said. "Nothing escaped the sharp gaze of his bright brown eyes. Whoever approached him immediately came under the spell of his superior personality.
... Phew!

Gotta make it sound catchy
Trump seems to know that our Constitution requires nondiscrimination, not diversity.
