Because its a violation of our civil rights laws. Omg, why can't you guys get it? We arent going to make it legal to discriminate against white people and Asians. Okay? Give it up.

From the article:

“This week’s developments make clear: public universities that accept federal funds do not have a license to violate the Constitution,” Megan Redshaw, an attorney at the group, said in a statement. “They do not get to impose ideological loyalty tests, enforce race and sex-based preferences, or defy lawful executive authority.”

Can someone please share what laws were violated? I've looked and don't see anything specific. What triggered the Trump administration?

It's only been 4 months since the EOs from the administration were released. The one that reversed Executive Order 11246, issued in 1965, so now federal contractors no longer have to ensure that all qualified individuals, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status, are treated equally in employment, said 90 days to implement .

What did UVA do? Race based admissions has been stopped by the Supreme Court Colleges no longer see race data and there wasn't a significant increase of URM enrollment at UVS so what is the problem?

He did not do anything wrong. Yougkin wants to appoint Cucinelli as UVA’s president.

Why isn't Tech getting caught up in this? They had the 40% URM/USS admissions strategic goal.

Because there are no Tech educated lawyers with vendettas at the DOJ.

Stop lying. You are scared that if a TRUE merit system is in place, white people won't have the only seats at the table. Oh you poor, poor, unqualified white people.

So many in this thread live in bizarro world.

DEI is not based on merit.

I wonder how many people know that women had to sue to be accepted to UVA in the 1970s. Prior to that, it primarily enrolled men.

- 1969: A pivotal moment came when four women—Virginia Anne Scott, Jo Anne Harris, Nancy L. Anderson, and Elizabeth K. Dow—applied for admission to the College of Arts and Sciences and were denied solely on the basis of their gender. With support from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), they filed a lawsuit against UVA, arguing that the exclusion of women from a publicly funded institution violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
- 1970: In response to the lawsuit (Kirstein v. Rector and Visitors of the University of Virginia), a federal district court ruled that UVA’s male-only policy for undergraduate admissions was unconstitutional. The court mandated that UVA admit women to the College of Arts and Sciences starting in the fall of 1970. This marked the official beginning of full coeducation at UVA.
- In September 1970, 127 women enrolled as undergraduates in the College, joining approximately 1,200 male students. The transition was not seamless, as the university was unprepared for coeducation in terms of facilities (e.g., housing and restrooms) and campus culture.

- Cultural Resistance: Many students, alumni, and faculty were resistant to coeducation, viewing it as a threat to UVA’s traditions. Women faced social challenges, including exclusion from certain organizations and a male-dominated culture. The Honor System, a cornerstone of UVA’s identity, was initially skeptical of women’s inclusion, with some arguing they might undermine its rigor.

I find it so interesting that the Democrats who are outraged about this are effectively saying, "We want certain people to be discriminated against and other people to be treated more favorably - and all based on their race." Not that we didn't already know this, but wow - it's something to see them actually confirm this.

Way to miss the point. I expect no less from a mediocre white male born on third base thinking he hit a triple.

Lots of racism and sexism in this thread.

Are you talking about Obama's deal colleague letters?
They demanded universities operate Title IX to create kangaroo courts to harass male students with fake charges.

Oxymoron

Virginia Tech had or still has "Reaching 40 percent URM/USS in 2022 was a key strategic goal proposed by Virginia Tech President Tim Sands ".

Does Tech have an organized group of bitter alums with a direct line of communication to the governor?

This should alarm even conservative alums
