Sept 22 (Reuters) - A non-profit group opposing race-based education policies has filed more than a dozen U.S. civil rights complaints this year against universities, challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.
The challenges are part of a growing campaign against diversity initiatives after a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling in June outlawed use of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action. Conservative activists say the decision should extend to all educational programs, and some groups have also challenged corporate diversity policies.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Sept 22 (Reuters) - A non-profit group opposing race-based education policies has filed more than a dozen U.S. civil rights complaints this year against universities, challenging the legality of offering minority scholarships, summer study and residency programs to promote racial diversity.
The challenges are part of a growing campaign against diversity initiatives after a U.S. Supreme Court landmark ruling in June outlawed use of race in college admissions, commonly known as affirmative action.
The Equal Protection Project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, headed by Cornell University clinical law professor William Jacobson, filed the complaints with the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office.
Advocates say race-conscious programs are necessary to combat institutional and societal disadvantages facing minority students, particularly in light of the Supreme Court’s decision.
The state’s Republican attorney general sent a letter instructing all colleges in Missouri, including private schools, to adopt race-blind standards for admissions, scholarships, employment and other programs.
In July, the office confirmed it had opened an investigation into whether Harvard discriminates against minorities by favoring “legacy” applicants with ties to donors or alumni, following a complaint filed by civil rights groups.

I’m amazed at how I’ve never actually heard from one of these advocates. I get all the arguments for these programs. I’m just surprised I’ve seen journalists, benzo psychologist, tons of cage fighters all giving me reasons to oppose this stuff. Its shocking the only time I’ve heard people support it is either comments online or what I learned in a sociology class decades ago.
Why have we not seen a sociologist or really any other advocate with experience doing these circuits like podcasts or other media that educate on these things.
they do. It is just that they dont create outrage and clickbait shit for morons and thus dont get pushed on youtube, instagram and tiktok.
The way social media works currently is to push idiotic voices for nasses of idiots than sound reasoning to sound people. Also having a sociologist weighing pro and cons, looking into detailes and nuances and forming a qualified opinion takes much longer and much more brain energy to follow, than some jacked up guy yelling into the camera how the liberals want to turn all white men into black gay trans furries or something.
There should be a jacked up guy in a blazer screaming that socioeconomic barriers shouldn’t be divided along race but somehow it is and how this relates to a proper meritocratic society
