(b) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General, in coordination with the heads of all other agencies, shall report to the President, through the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy:

(i) all existing regulations, guidance, rules, or orders that impose disparate-impact liability or similar requirements, and detail agency steps for their amendment or repeal, as appropriate under applicable law; and

(ii) other laws or decisions, including at the State level, that impose disparate-impact liability and any appropriate measures to address any constitutional or other legal infirmities.

3. Oh $#@$&#& Fuck him!

It's what he has effectively been doing by cutting funding for dei. Impeach and remove then finish trying the charges against him, add all the new ones and throw him in jail for the rest of eternity🤬🤮

9. Between the gutting of the Civil Rights Act,

the Citizens United Case, the 2010 congressional elections allowing for widespread gerrymandering and a spineless Supreme Court, has put us where we are now.

It's a bleak prognosis.

15. I told my HR students today about this executive order about "Merit" in employment

I said: "Don't worry if you can't remember anything about adverse impact for the final exam. Someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue doesn't want us talking about it."

My students understood this to be sarcastic.

But on the other had, Trump wants universities to push for "viewpoint diversity." While I am not a conservative, I am an older white male teaching in the business college, so people will just assume I am a conservative.
