WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Trump administration plans to revoke guidelines that encourage considering race in the college admissions process as a way of promoting diversity, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.

The guidelines, put in place in the Obama administration in 2011 and 2016, put forth legal recommendations that Trump officials contend “mislead schools to believe that legal forms of affirmative action are simpler to achieve than the law allows,” the Journal reported, citing two people familiar with the plans.

Trump administration officials plan to argue the guidelines go beyond what the Supreme Court has decided on the issue.

Trump administration officials plan to argue the guidelines go beyond what the Supreme Court has decided on the issue.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled universities may use affirmative action to help minority applicants get into college. Conservatives have said such programs can hurt white people and Asian-Americans.

The Justice Department under Republican President Donald Trump has been investigating a complaint by more than 60 Asian-American organizations that say Harvard University's policies are discriminatory because they limit the acceptance of Asian-Americans.

I assume colleges and universities may set their own (discriminatory) admissions guidelines, to some degree. Heaven knows Harvard does.

Just one step towards reforming the entire government education racket.

Gotta quit encouraging unqualified people from getting in, and quit misleading many to enroll for fees which have vastly raged beyond inflation, bases on government insured loans.

Unwinding AA is just one aspect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Connerly

Years ago Ward Connerly was on the UC Board of Regents, and argued to dismantle race based Afirmative Action.

He helped Prop 209 get on the ballot, and of course to pass.

Of course leftists and court have diuted and gone around this measure, to effectively put race into admissions under different words.

He has already been called everything they can think of and it's like water off a ducks back.  He's a national treasure IMHO.

Trump told me I'd get tired of winning.

Not Yet. Pour it on Don.
