(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Ivy League presidents received letters from the current administration warning them of the consequences of their violation of the Civil Rights Act and other policies. Federal funding could be withdrawn.
Responses have varied. The president of Columbia University agreed to change policies, and then she "stepped down" from her position. Princeton's president (photo) defied the letter's demands, and seems to argue that he is defending civil rights with his discriminatory policies.
Does he not understand the argument? "[R]acial discrimination is wrong whether it targets whites, Asians, Jews, blacks or Hispanics. Any institution that continues to discriminate based on race is ineligible for federal support." Princeton received $455 million from the federal government last year.
Harvard receives billions from the federal government. All those billions are at stake, and they're suing the administration.
