Doesn’t matter. The Universities will double down on the guidelines, and say they’re doing so “in honor of the greatest president in the history of the world, Barack Obama.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the official announcement Tuesday afternoon.

“The American people deserve to have their voices heard and a government that is accountable to them. When issuing regulations, federal agencies must abide by constitutional principles and follow the rules set forth by Congress and the President,” Sessions said. “In previous administrations, however, agencies often tried to impose new rules on the American people without any public notice or comment period, simply by sending a letter or posting a guidance document on a website. That’s wrong, and it’s not good government.”

Herd it on the news. They show an increase in attendance by Blacks and Hispanics before and after Obama rules but no numbers for Asians and Whites. Another thing not shown is if there was an increase in graduation too. But CU is going to double down.

President Trump: Working to fundamentally change America back to what it was before the carpetbagging usurper Muslim brotherhood associate and fraud decided America needed to be changed.

MAGA President Trump!

Doesn’t matter.

It matters. The point of Trump's order was to prevent lawsuits by scumbag Democratic lawyers against universities that don't discriminate against white and Asian students. None of the leftist media mention this point of course, preferring to yabber about a handful of reverse discrimination suits like the one against Harvard.

“Colleges and universities using disciplinary history as admissions criteria should consider how to design admissions policies that do not have the unjustified effect of discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion and disability,” the report says. It points to precedents by the Department of Labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Department of Housing and Urban Development, which have all concluded that questions about criminal history have a disparate impact and may be grounds for a racial discrimination lawsuit.

I see. Thanks for explaining, and I'm glad I'm wrong!

End any kind of federal funding if they don’t follow the new guidelines. Let the liberal scum support them
