Trump administration launches investigation into Duke University and Duke Law Journal

They’re probably cherry picking universities with the largest endowments, in order to fleece them.

You simply cannot negotiate with terrorists.

These universities need to grow a spine.

Duke has a tobacco money endowment.

So now they're accusing DUKE of being too woke???

R3, Duke is being investigated for violating the Civil Rights Act with its discriminatory practices based on race.

Stephen Miller's alma mater. Did he get rejected by the law school?

Doe the tobacco endowment receive ongoing, incoming funds -- enough to fund a fight back?

Duke is a southern good old boy school.

The last thing it is is woke

Frankly, any institution that favors one race over another deserves to get sued.

The least woke place…too funny!

Stephen Miller's retribution and his fingerprints are all over it. He *will bring the institution to HEED & HEEL* regardless of anything.

Because he wants people to pay, just like Krazy Kash. They're only about rooting out competence, or whatever makes them out to be the teeny, tiny shitheels they are.

Kash and Pete are running a small army of lie detector analysts trying figure out who gave them both official coverage to get SIDE WEAPONS, when only trained agents do. I get "trained Pete," but Patel is a dog chewed sprinker ready to go all over.

R3 Don’t sleep. Duke is pretty woke too, in all the right ways. Nearly any east coast prestigious, hard to get into university is gon be woke.

It’s the least woke of the woke places.

R12 Yeah that might be true.

Freeze, motherfuckers!

[quote]Duke is a southern good old boy school.

Isn't not surprising then that they are being investigated for racial discrimination.

Investigated by a Jewish alumnus from Santa Monica! Isn’t it ironic?

If only Miller had gone to Ucla like everyone else of his standing at SaMoHi, none of this would have happened.

They are coming for higher education period...the elite schools (private and public) are only the first. As a whole, university professors have already been affected. Many have had grants pulled for their research, because their fields of research/proposals may involve "equality, race, gender, marginalized, historically underrepresented..."

Every institution of higher learning needs to stand together. Instead, they are ducking and covering in hopes they will not be next. They will be.

Shhh…He’s avoiding the public Ivys for now, because as public institutions they are already bound to follow various 1st A. rules, etc. (UVA is an outlier, as DOJ folks connected to UVA had a particular grudge).

Despite whatever contract or terms Columbia and Harvard agreed to - how the hell can they be certain he won't do this again next year? You can't - because he is protected.

This is all mob-like behavior with shake-downs. He learned it from Cohn and the Mafia.

There are no written terms… that’s both the upside and the downside.

Through the regulatory process, they can redefine the criteria for federal research grants, med school funding and national lab funding, etc. Generally, that falls within their power. That’s how it would be weaponized going forward.

Of course, that’s also how you destroy American leadership in science and technology. The internet existed only because if federal research money, and so on and so forth.

Axios:

Trump has extracted more than $1.2 billion in settlements from 13 of the most powerful players in academia, law, media and tech. If finalized, a potential $500 million deal with Harvard would represent the largest scalp to date.
