The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will “aggressively” crack down on colleges and universities that continue to offer race-based “affinity” housing, a department official told The College Fix.

Assistant Secretary for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Craig Trainor recently wrote a “dear colleague” letter warning campuses against “institutionalized separatism on the basis of race.”

“When that racial separatism violates the Fair Housing Act, we will aggressively enforce the law and hold every responsible institution fully accountable, regardless of the label, euphemism, or justification attached to the unlawful housing arrangement,” Trainor told The College Fix in an email last week.

Often referred to as “affinity” housing, some universities offer special residence areas for students of specific racial or ethnic identities. Universities often tout these specialized housing options as a way to promote diversity, community, and belonging.

The Supreme Court told America’s universities that race could no longer be used as an admissions shortcut.

President Trump’s Justice Department now says one of the nation’s major medical schools responded by building a new system behind the old one.

It had neutral-sounding labels. It had separate applicant pools.

And according to federal investigators, it was designed to keep producing racial preferences after the Supreme Court had ordered them out.

The school is the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.

The House Oversight Committee has announced plans to investigate the accusations that the American Bar Association has become a progressive weapon of political war.

Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) said a task force investigating them will “analyze how the American Bar Association (ABA) has weaponized its accreditation authority to promote DEI policies that are contrary to federal civil rights law and the negative consequences in the legal profession that result from these harmful policies. Members will also explore how Congress can help permanently eliminate DEI policies within American institutions, including the legal profession and academy.”

Members of the House of Representatives are looking into whether the law school accreditation group, the American Bar Association, weaponized Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) to force discriminatory policies in admissions and coursework.

The House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Constitutional Abuses will hold a hearing Wednesday with ABA President Michelle Behnke to determine if the group actively pushed DEI policies at accredited schools.

In an interview with Just the News, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, outlined what the task force will be looking to uncover through its line of questioning during Wednesday’s hearing.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom continued his feud against President Donald Trump by threatening the universities who complied with a request from the federal government.

The president issued a 10-point memo titled the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” to nine universities and said any that agreed would receive preferential treatment for grants and other federal money.

‘California will not bankroll schools that sign away academic freedom.’

Newsom, who has presidential ambitions and has positioned California as a leading state to oppose Trump’s policies, issued a threat to universities that agreed to the compact.

“California universities that bend to the will of Donald Trump and sign this insane ‘compact’ will lose billions in state funding — IMMEDIATELY,” he wrote on social media Thursday.

“California will not bankroll schools that sign away academic freedom,” he added.

The retreat from corporate diversity programs widened this week as Citigroup (C) and PepsiCo (PEP) announced rollbacks of their DEI policies amid mounting scrutiny from a new administration in Washington, D.C.

“It is important to note that we’re living in an environment where things are changing quickly,” Fraser said.

PepsiCo, the beverage giant, said in its own memo from CEO Ramon Laguarta that it will no longer have a DEI officer dedicated specifically to such issues, will “sunset” DEI workforce representation goals, and expand its supplier base.

The company, he added, will be announcing a new “inclusion for growth” strategy that is “in keeping with our company’s deep history of building an inclusive and respectful workplace culture.”

Excerpt:

It’s back-to-school season, and some teachers have promised that the racist ideas from diversity, equity, and inclusion would not be in their classrooms this year. That’s the good news. The bad news is that many of these teachers and administrators are clearly telling whoppers.

In fact, K-12 schools and colleges around the country are disguising their DEI offices and their racial preferences.

Take Maryland, across the border from the nation’s capital and where many federal bureaucrats sleep and send their children to school.

State education officials said schools would comply with President Donald Trump’s executive orders calling on schools to reject DEI, citing the ways in which DEI programs violate civil rights laws.

Yet schools in Montgomery County, precisely where the swamp lives, still have resources on their website dedicated to DEI and critical race theory.

This wealthy school district, which receives $51.5 million in federal taxpayer spending for children in its lower-income areas, offers online classes for teachers on “How to be an anti-racist and anti-racist educator.” These sessions argue that everything around us is racist because not everyone receives the same rewards in life.

So it does not matter how hard you work in life—everyone should have the same amount. That is “equity,” the course materials say. The way equity’s champions rationalize this to themselves is to say that success is the result of “whiteness,” or systemic racism or some such, not the result of effort.

Medical education needs to stop burning out students

Report outlines DEI impact on US medical schools – The North State Journal
Source Link
Excerpt:

A new report issued by the James G. Martin Center outlines how diversity, equity and inclusion at medical schools in the United States compromises “academic standards, undermine merit-based admissions and hiring, and jeopardize public health outcomes.”

“Medical education must prioritize competence, not ideology,” Jenna A. Robinson, James G. Martin Center president said in a press release. “This report reveals the extent to which DEI policies are weakening the physician pipeline at a time when Americans need highly skilled, well-trained doctors.”

Authored by Martin Center Senior Fellow Jay Schalin, the report, “An End to Excellence: How Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Undermine Our Medical Schools,” looked at the 10 top-ranked American medical schools with respect to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and policies.

The schools in the report include Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, University of California at San Francisco School of Medicine, University of Michigan Medical School, Stanford University School of Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine, Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Yale School of Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles and Weill Cornell Medicine.

Schalin’s report examines how DEI policies, described as an aggressive extension of affirmative action, have eroded meritocracy in the nation’s medical schools by prioritizing race, gender and ideologies in areas like admissions, faculty hiring, curricula and student programs, potentially leading to less competent physicians and compromised health care.

High School Seniors Are Struggling To Read — It’s Time To Overhaul Our Education System– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

As a kid, I was a bit rambunctious. I talked a lot in class, acted up some, and didn’t always pay attention to the lesson. Halfway through 8th grade my English teacher, Mrs. Hunt, told me something profound.

“You know, your classmates really look up to you. They see you as a leader. I bet if you paid attention in class more, you could teach them a thing or two,” she said.

That conversation changed my life. After that, I took my education seriously and tried to be the leader Mrs. Hunt thought I could be. Years later, I completed my doctoral degree in higher education. That conversation with Mrs. Hunt was a defining moment that put me on the pathway to academic and financial success.

This is not a unique story in America. Right after college, I was a middle school math teacher in a low-income community. I learned firsthand what Mrs. Hunt and so many other great teachers already knew — any kid can learn, regardless of zip code, race, income, or background. They just need great teachers who care about their future and an education bureaucracy that gets out of the way.

But right now, bad education policy has put our education system in crisis.

The 2024 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) — known as The Nation’s Report Card — paints a grim portrait of K-12 achievement nationwide. These results, the first comprehensive post-pandemic snapshot, reveal American students testing at historic lows across math, reading, and science. In 8th-grade science, only 31% scored proficient, marking the first decline since 2009. For 12th graders, only 22% are proficient in math — the lowest average score since 2005. Nearly two-thirds lack proficiency in reading.

Key Takeaways

  • The Conversation is a news organization partially funded by public universities to the tune of $2 million annually while producing predominantly anti-Trump content.
  • None of the articles analyzed by The College Fix were explicitly supportive of Trump, and the language used in many instances was deemed emotionally charged and biased, raising concerns about the publication’s claim of neutrality.
  • Public universities, including Michigan State and West Virginia University, financially support The Conversation, but inquiries to these institutions about their contributions and the political alignment of the outlet went unanswered.

The Cracker Barrel brouhaha has ended the only way it possibly could… with Donald Trump involved. Once the president of the United States says your new logo is stupid, it’s time to bend the knee while waving the white flag of surrender. The restaurant did. Uncle Hershal is back. Now the truth is being told about the decision-making process. Spoiler: The people responsible were told fans would hate it, but they didn’t care.

To recap Tuesday, in the morning, Donald Trump was all like:

Then in the afternoon, Cracker Barrel was all like:

Here’s where the story takes a hilarious turn. When CEO Julie Felss Masino announced her strategic plan to transform the brand, an investor spoke up and warned her that everything she wanted to do was stupid and would be rejected by people who actually like Cracker Barrel, as opposed to the people Masino was attempting to impress.
