This line from the article caught my attention: “On Friday, the Education Department announced it was investigating more than 50 universities, including major public universities, over alleged racial discrimination.” I seriously doubt that anyone in the Trump administration is concerned about discrimination against minorities. The demand to reform undergraduate admissions means they must admit only white males. Admitting women and minorities is just more DEI.
