Trump administration to scrap Obama guidelines on affirmative action
- Thread starter Piecake
- Start date
What's a "guidance"?
Sounds like advice, not a legal article. Sounds like something universities can just ignore.

Yes, because that always works out great for minorities doesn't it?
Fuck off with this shit.
You're right. It shouldn't. But it does.
That's why affirmative action exists.
Except race was very much a part of th admissions process before Affirmative Action ever came into being. Affirmative Action came to be because of racial prejudices in the education system.
Is this a broken clock scenario? Not that there is a second thought behind this than removing Obama rules.
You're right. It shouldn't be the deciding factor for anything.
Let me know when you find a world that works that way.
Well that didn't take long.
Anyway just more racism from a racist administration.
Are you against the Voting Rights Act as well?
It's not the fucking deciding factor (in the way you are framing it). Wtf is this shit???
"SHOULDN'T" being the operative word.
"SHOULDN'T" is why we needed Affirmative Action in the first place.
Unless you presume that colleges are now going to reject black and Hispanic students from their colleges, there isn't anything wrong with this. Colleges are still going to make it a point to try and get as many minorities as possible because it's a good way to get donations and avoid controversies. It's good that now the government isn't encouraging this. Hopefully now, quotas aren't gonna be set at colleges as they play this little game of getting a child from every race into their halls.
Black people had to be escorted to school by the army, I think we need affirmative action.
Except for Military Academies, aren't all universities/colleges in the USA either private or state run? Not sure why Dept of Education has to really say anything, its up to each state to decide how to run their programs.
You're not a bright person and you have shitty opinions.
And the irony of this post.
Oh no, how horrible!
Lemme guess. They should stop forced diversity in video games as well.
Yes because we know there aren't any troubling racial related problems in the modern American education system. Just take a look at charter schools and the myriad of issues in terms of the makeup of their student populations.
Hm.
Oh. Yeah.
Maybe he's just concerned.
User Banned (Permanent): Trolling and arguing in bad faith, with a history of such actions, account still in the junior phase.
I'm assuming that you presume that I'm white.
Which will, of course, favor kids from wealthier schools and school districts. I'm sure you can guess what that looks like.
Thank God there aren't studies out their that traditionally black names are less likely to get excepted that white ones and the like.
You're right. It shouldn't.
I'll give you a second for the irony to sink in.
With a 2 post per month average, you'll pardon if we assume quite a bit.
I presume a lot from your posts. I'm gonna assume that I'm right.
You're a bozo. The "little game" is systemic discrimination when choosing applicants that gave white kids an advantage for being white; as you said, "the deciding factor." What the fuck are you even talking about "get donations and avoid controversies"? That's not a motivating factor to any significant degree.
It doesn't matter. What you are is ignorant, living in a fantasy world.
Aren't some Asian Americans sueing Harvard because of reverse descrimination? As in they are getting rejected for worse candidates because they are essentially working too hard lmao? That's kinda fucked up no?
Also I heard Jon Stewart didn't have names on his applicants for the daily show to prevent racial bias or whatever.. But it failed miserably by ended up pretty much all white folks :/

Universities want a diverse student body because it improves academic culture of the campus.
Indeed. Maybe someday I'll get to live in a world where basic concepts like inherent bias don't need to be explained to supposedly functioning adults.
Unfortunately gradual erosion still does damage, arguably moreso since it's below people's level of perception.
The top universities, including all of the ivies, are not going to change anything. No one is going to risk reversing efforts to create a diverse student body population for the most hated administration in modern history.
Schools risk adjust admissions to create an holistic process. If they did not then it would be filled with white men who are mostly legacies or athletes. And if schools had hard quotas they would try to have their respective demographic reflect the nation. It does not.

It's similar to the logic of "a store should be able to not allow gays or Black people because the free market will punish the business".
I'm getting libertarian vibes here.
