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.

As Chinese American I welcome the decision. If I were his advisor I would advise he to reform admission to be such. Take a number and take a test. If that number is above certain percentile, you are in. No photo, no name, no ethnicity. Just a number
I doubt many FReepers remember.
So, do asians go to better high schools, or are the high schools they go to better because they have asians in them?
With more of this, it won’t be RussiaRussiaRussia any more.

Typical affirmative-action loser. She fears meritocracy.
Needs to combine it with discrimination against East Asians where there’s even more in this area.

Time to clean up the civil service mess along with draining the swamp.
Yep - and ironically, diversity by the “less White” mode can never be fully achieved because all them excess Whites have to be part of something....will have to kill a lot of us off to reach the perfect ratios of “diversity”...
I agree. That’s the point...
It's a good suggestion. But sooner or later, they'll be hiring robots instead of humans. :- )
Besides the obvious injustice this Sessions moves to correct, I love the fact that the Trump administration is getting bolder and bolder.
It’s a build up to 2018. Stopping trannies coming into the military. Stopping discrimination in schools. These are issues that the working people of America support.
Winning again...
I actually subscribed to them many, many years ago, in high school and early college.
Then I grew up.
Why? Does that mean that whites don't have so called 'civil rights'?
True.
The two groups should work together against that discrimination.
They might not remember, but “Bakke” is a great search string.
Not much coverage of the murdering of White farmers in S. Africa, but why would there be? The conditioning of the White mind, and the speech codes we voluntarily live by, won't allow frank discussions.
