Oh you sweet summer child.
Tell me you don’t understand DEI without telling me. ^^^
How funny! DEI IS A RACIST DOG WHISTLE. Everyone but you realizes it. You sound uneducated anytime you say the word DEI.
DP: Irony. YOU don't know what DEI is.

Exactly.
It’s a yuge red flag if someone is “anti-DEI”.

As currently practiced, admissions essays that ask about community or lived experiences are in compliance with both the letter and spirit of the SCOTUS ruling.
So, no, I don't think much will change. Universities genuinely believe that a more diverse student body leads to a more robust educational experience for all students. This means they will continue to look at the "whole" student and consider what they add to the overall class.

he’s too stupid to understand that DEI is the implementation of civil rights.

I mean, colleges are definitely going to ask about background, experiences, or "community." They aren't going to de-emphasize their priority on diversity regardless of who is in office.

I think colleges are going to be real careful to avoid any DEI questions. So I would not worry too much about this, again, thanks to Trump.

According to a Trump Administration official who spoke about Harvard:
“[They] should assign Office of [sic] Civil Rights employees to the Harvard admissions office and direct the university to hold no admissions meeting without their physical presence,” Eden wrote. “The Office of Civil Rights should be copied on every email correspondence, and Harvard should be forced to provide a written rationale for every admissions decision to ensure nondiscrimination.”

It's not clear what his role is but it's safe to say there is pressure being exerted by the administration. Please, only comments on changes you think will occur - this is not an invite for trolls to hijack this thread!
I wish this happened last year.
The diversity essays are nothing sort of ridiculous. At 14 to 17 years of age, children do not have to come up with stuff they did to show how inclusive or diverse they are.
Thank you Trump!

I love all of the hypocrites who voted for Trump because they want less inflation, smaller government, more working class jobs, food on their table, etc. are OK with spending lots of money on policing Harvard. How does this impact their lives in any way whatsoever?
Now I have some issues with how Harvard handled some things. But this is such a ridiculous, childish over-reaction. And all of these idiots are doing exactly what Trump and his propaganda machine are telling them to do because they are brainwashed. Meanwhile the price of their eggs keeps going up. But I'm sure that is Biden's fault. Because heaven forbid they question one thing Trump does.
