Is it time to rein in the power of these universities, which have billions of dollars in funds, while they still receive government funding? These elitists think they determine right and wrong, ignoring our laws on the books. What is so difficult about equality for everything in life? Why is reverse discrimination sold as the right thing to do? Does this all come down to an eye-for-an-eye solution? It sure seems that way, and that is dangerous because sooner or later, it will come back around.
We need to stop the insanity of committing wrongs in an attempt to right the past. All IMO.

“The Court sided with the plaintiffs six to three, holding that Harvard’s race conscious admissions program, while boosting black enrollment, discriminated against Asian American applicants and violated their civil rights. Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the majority, stressed that the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of “equal protection of the laws” requires that “an individual’s race may never be used against him in the admissions process.”
In the years since, a number of elite schools have seen enrollment shifts, with Asian American enrollment rising while black and Hispanic enrollment declining, albeit marginally. Yet reports alleging racial discrimination in admissions — including at medical and law schools — have persisted. Meanwhile, some universities, including Harvard, have withheld admissions data from the federal government that would prove their compliance.
The federal government is already on the case, as Ms. Stefanik noted Monday. In February, the Department of Justice filed suit against Harvard alleging the school had “slow-walked” federal efforts to review its civil rights compliance by withholding applicants’ racial data, test scores, and grades. A month later, the Department of Education followed up with a civil rights probe, citing Harvard’s failure to fulfill its requests.
“Harvard University should know better,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has said in response to the March probe. “Its name will always be tied to the landmark Supreme Court case that found sweeping racial discrimination in admissions and the campus has been in the spotlight for tolerating egregious antisemitic harassment for years now.” Added Ms. McMahon: “No one — not even Harvard — is above the law.”
