[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UVA made FAQs. I'm chuckling reading them. https://federalinfo.virginia.edu/

Did UVA break the law? No. 
Will UVA lose research grants? No. 
Will there be an external monitor? No.
Does this impact free speech rights? No. 
Does UVA have to pay money to the government? No.
Does this impact independence or academic freedom? No. [/quote]

But also:

[quote]Can the government still bring an enforcement action against UVA alleging civil rights violations?

Yes. If the United States determines that UVA is making insufficient progress toward compliance, UVA will have 15 days to address the issue. If the United States determines that UVA has not made adequate progress within that time, or if we disagree with DOJ about what the law requires and cannot resolve that disagreement, then the United States may terminate the agreement, resume the investigations that had been in abeyance, and pursue the remedies available to it.[/quote]

So basically, the trump administration can still come back at any time and claim they aren't complying. Which they will do if  UVA admits too many non-white people. [/quote]

Stop with the race-baiting. DEI served its purpose & now it’s time to adopt the radical policy of not choosing based on race. [/quote]

NP.  It’s not race-baiting, it’s a statement of fact.  The measure of whether there is ‘merit’ in admissions is based on the percentage of URMs people with an agenda  ‘think’ there ought to be. This part is obvious.  If a class is 11% black (15% of high school students),  that is perceived to be too many. “Something must be afoot, that many black students can’t possibly have ‘merit’ to be there”

Don’t see much administrative attack on the need to admit fewer men given the preference they get at most colleges without engineering.  Don’t see attacks on geography - the rural student from Appalachia or the Dakotas.  Don’t see attacks on country club sport recruiting

This is not lost on anyone.  People with an agenda just like to pretend it’s not the case and not say the quiet part out loud.  But we all know what it is and why it is.
