WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration plans to revoke guidelines that encourage considering race in the college admissions process as a way of promoting diversity, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The guidelines, put in place in the Obama administration in 2011 and 2016, put forth legal recommendations that Trump officials contend “mislead schools to believe that legal forms of affirmative action are simpler to achieve than the law allows,” the Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the plans.
Trump administration officials plan to argue the guidelines go beyond what the Supreme Court has decided on the issue.
The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled universities may use affirmative action to help minority applicants get into college. Conservatives have said such programs can hurt white people and Asian-Americans.
The Justice Department under Republican President Donald Trump has been investigating a complaint by more than 60 Asian-American organizations that say Harvard University’s policies are discriminatory because they limit the acceptance of Asian-Americans.

I used to be a hiring manager and every damn' time some HR idiot would tell me "you know, your department isn't diverse enough, you need to hire a woman/person of color/transvestite/homosexual or something else, I'd tell them to go f themselves.
And here's the best part: I always hired the most qualified person first, period. In the example above I was at a very large Advertising Agency based out of Chicago. My staff was 14.
Two black males.
One black female.
One white female.
Remainder: White guys (college aged to my age.)
All VERY HIGHLY QUALIFIED individuals for the roles I hired them into, ALL of them went onto bigger and better roles in the agency due to their accomplishments, drive and motivation and all of them credited the opportunities I gave them to learn, grow and advance. And here I was just doing what every good manager SHOULD do:
Hire the best person for the job, period.
I am extremely proud of every single person I hired over my career. They took advantage of every opportunity provided them, worked their asses off and reaped the benefits of that.
That's how it's supposed to work, not these idiots who tell us who to hire and worse the ones who stick their hands out once they land a job and think everything's handed to them.
I hope her head explodes on live TV.
(even though 'higher' education is still a sucker's bet for many)

Back in the 1940s my father couldn’t get into medical school because of the “Jewish quota.” Instead, he became an osteopath, which was called the “back door” to medicine. (Luckily in California, the law was changed later, enabling DOs to become MDs.) Why so many idiot Jewish liberals (I repeat myself) want to support affirmative action is beyond me.
Attention, liberals (Jewish or otherwise): Globalism is the biggest destroyer of affirmative action, since in this hypercompetitive day and age we must hire “only the best,” as Steve Jobs once said. Or to quote the zombies: “Brains! We need brains!”
I love this guy. What other republican politician would have the balls to take on the race pimps so frontally.
“If Jews and Asians are the only ones with the smarts and ethics to succeed, so be it. Somehow, I doubt that is the case. More like strict encouragement and development of early childhood habits.”
100% agree ... and such preparation is nothing more than the application of good ol’ classic American values of family, education and hard work ... and I don’t care who gets rewarded for practicing those values because they’ll deserve it ... if it so happens that Asians or Jews or Hispanics or Blacks can ace out lazy, feckless whites that way, then tough titty ...
“More like strict encouragement and development of early childhood habits.”
From higher IQ parents that understand and appreciate the value of such qualities.
Seriously. If the form doesnt say what race they are then the admissions cant be racist.
Trump cannot rescind race guidelines.
“Trump is a MASTER at forcing the media to change the subject whether they want to or not. He also exceptional at MAKING them focus on wedge issues that create splits among their own.”
totally. i’ve been watching him do that time after time, and it seems that when the last batch of leftist head explosions seem to be dying down, then he figures its time to get the explosions going again.
and the leftists ALWAYS end up REACTING to Trump’s maneuvers by taking much more extremist positions than before ... Thus, Trump is not only bamboozling these reactionary leftist fools into extremist positions, but also into consuming their own time, energy and media exposure with meaningless head exploding instead of what they ought to be doing, which is to come up with a platform that appeals to other than their hardcore leftist base in order to attract more votes into their party.
instead, the leftist fools are doing the very opposite of what they ought to do, namely busily driving away former moderate supporters on a daily basis ...
Trump really is WAY smarter and craftier than even his most ardent supporters give him credit for ...
And it’s even more illegal there. The SCOTUS has never approved a Bakke-like justification for racial discrimination in employment.

For all. Above is our current laws. And they don’t say a damn thing about homos and other perverts.
And here are the bureaucratic regulations which can be changed:

“Trump cannot rescind race guidelines. Trump cannot revoke guidelines.”
guidelines are not laws. guidelines are administratively established and therefore can be administratively changed or abolished. a guideline does not even carry the weight of a regulation, because, get this: they’re GUIDELINES!
i don’t think you have a very good understanding about how the Federal government actually works ...
God bless this man.
The best part is when they laugh, saying that he is can’t control himself and that he made a gaffe, and this time he has gone too far, and it is the end.
I liken it to a 1950s NFL coach (outside of the great Joe Stydahar) finding himself facing a 1980s “West Coast” offense, thinking they can’t possibly win the game with all these crazy passes all over the field.
“White privelege” means losing a job or college opportunity to someone else just because of their race.
You left out the part that she had to be a lesbo or transgender.
And the made up names that are now associated with black Americans?
