Look at the below average people in the White House right now and tell me white people are being held back by affirmative action policies.

BULLSHIT.

You cannot tell me with a straight face that you can look at this picture of the poor poor disadvantaged White House interns and tell me that your eyes don't well up thinking about all of the things they had to overcome to get where they are.

While apparently good at real estate, they are clueless dolts when it comes to politics and policy.

Going after universities for current affirmative action programs will appeal to those who think colleges hurt America and whose children were rejected by a school regardless of reason(s).

Yet the football fan subset of that voter group sees nothing wrong with recruiting minority players who only need to meet NCAA minimums to be admitted.

I can't wait to see some white kid sue MSU or umaa's athletic department because the state population is 79% white but more than 50%, sometimes more than 70% of football and basketball scholarships went to a minority group that makes up about 14% of MI's population.

The Kushner sage is what Nobel Economist Krugman warned us about when he said killing publicly funded higher education would open up a path for RDK's.

I wonder if the DOE will take a stand against legacy admissions?

If a divided nation can agree on anything, maybe it’s this: Selective colleges run an unfair admissions process, stacking the deck against deserving students. Which ones? That depends on who’s complaining.

Earlier this week, it had seemed that the Trump administration might have been getting ready to turn conservatives’ longstanding complaints into action. On Tuesday, The New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Justice planned to investigate "intentional race-based discrimination" in admissions. The next day, a department official told The Chronicle that the internal document cited by the Times did not "reflect a new policy or program or any changes to longstanding DOJ policy." And further reporting suggested that the department hasn’t declared open season on race-conscious admissions programs.

“One positive dividend of this week's news may be an increased focus on legacies. People are quite rightly coming out and saying there's lots of unfairness in the system. That's healthy.”

Still, a wasp nest has been kicked once more. As the age-old debate over affirmative action continues in the Trump era, it’s worth asking how the system is "rigged" — to use one of the president’s favorite words — and for whom. Amid the continuing questions about the fairness of considering the race of underrepresented applicants, let’s not forget the advantages colleges confer on the children of alumni.

"The system is rigged against disadvantaged students, and legacy preferences are the most blatant example," says Richard D. Kahlenberg, senior fellow at the Century Foundation who argues for affirmative action based on class rather than race. "One positive dividend of this week’s news may be an increased focus on legacies. People are quite rightly coming out and saying there’s lots of unfairness in the system. That’s healthy."
