Aug 7 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday is expected to sign an order requiring universities to hand over admissions data to prove that they are not engaged in affirmative action efforts, the White House press secretary said in a post on X.

In her post on X, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not give details on the order such as the ramifications universities will face if they do not cooperate.

Since taking office for his second term, Trump's administration has attempted to dismantle affirmative action policies at universities, launching dozens of investigations and threatening to cut off funding to schools that promote diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

Short article at post time.

I thought this was already being tracked.

But remember folks, we must ignore this because the only thing that is important in the whole wide world is "Price of eggs", "Kitchen table issues", "Working class".

1. Just say, NO!

Another one of his despotic proclamations. Those who cave will lose their minority and foreign students.

2. Too bad we don't have a Supreme Court anymore, they used to take care of these things

[KPN]

12. Right. We have a Heavily Fascist Leaing Court. A

Supreme Court by comparison telies on the words embodied within the written Constitution, not “beliefs” about what the founding fathers “really” meant or intended.

[Walleye]

14. They should be relieved of their black robes if they don't wanna be justices

[KPN]

16. They should. Impeached ... if we ever have free and fair

elections again and regain control of both chambers of Congress. I think we will. It’s just a matter of when and whether the criminal justices are still alive and serving.

[Walleye]

17. Even what we know about Clarence Thomas is unbelievably corrupt

[FadedMullet]

3. Anything less than 95% white will be deemed illegal.

[Nigrum Cattus]

4. So they are basically saying only white people qualify for collage ?

When do the "whites only" signs go back up ?

[vapor2]

8. The same time they fly the Russian flag over the WH

[ALBliberal]

5. Well there goes UNM federal grant money

Very high Hispanic and Native American population in Albuquerque and throughout New Mexico. It’s just so hard to even read through these postings these days.

6. How in the hell does this asshole just get to "proclaim" something and make it happen?

Aren't some of these universities privately owned and funded? Aren't they governed by a Board of Regents? Don't they have ANY say in how they run their schools?

Capitulation needs to be the word of the day.

[PSPS]

11. He just starts every EO with a declaration of some kind of emergency

The stated emergency is always either not an emergency or just made up out of whole cloth. Since there's no push back, his goons run with it. A few lawsuits will be filed but with endless delays/appeals/venue-shopping/corrupt judges, etc., as well as the routine ignoring of court orders, there is no judicial branch anymore. The congress is afraid of doing anything, so we have an orange king.

[Walleye]

15. The only emergency here is in the oval office. They don't understand the definition of plain English words.

Will anyone ever question them? What is the clear and present danger?

7. EFFN RACIST ADMINISTRATION

9. Like vermin chewing, a little at a time.

10. Race is a false construct

The correct response is - 100% human.

[twodogsbarking]

13. My race is human. Not sure about many elected morons though. They haint hooman I tell ya.
