Feds Accuse Berkeley Law of Racial Admissions Bias
x/donald-john-trump
— Sep 9, 2026
Federal investigators from the Justice Department and Education Department concluded that UC Berkeley Law systematically discriminated against white and Asian applicants, using race-based prompts and other tactics to advance diversity goals even after the 2023 Supreme Court ruling. The findings, aligned with the Trump administration’s push to roll back race-conscious admissions, cite a significant disparity in admission odds—berating Black applicants with much higher odds of admission compared with similarly qualified white applicants—and call for enforcement action and a voluntary resolution.

The Supreme Court ruling was clear, so these race-based prompts and tactics need to end to restore fair admissions.

A RAC-backed review shows more than three-quarters of UK airports have raised or introduced ‘kiss-and-fly’ drop-off charges over the past year, with typical increases around a third and peak fees up to £10 at Gatwick and Stansted. The airports’ moves, contrasted with some UK and international airports that maintain free or cheaper drop-offs, have drawn criticism for fairness and global comparability, and London City notably shifted to one of the most expensive per-minute rates.

Treasury proposes ending tax-exempt status for schools with race-based admissions
x/scott-bessent-s
— Sep 3, 2026
The Trump administration unveiled proposed regulations to strip tax-exempt status from private schools, colleges, and other institutions that provide race-based admissions, scholarships, or benefits, potentially affecting up to 18,000 schools. Religious schools would be exempt, and the rules would take effect for tax years starting after May 31, 2027; supporters frame it as ending racial discrimination in education while critics warn DEI programs would be crushed and access to higher education could be limited.
