They use procedural reasons all the time. It’s why ballot access is a huge deal to third parties, and they still have to sue some state or another every election.
If someone wants to doom their university, I wouldn’t support using force to stop them. I don’t think that means I’m okay with it.
I feel like there’s a limit in there somewhere that I’d change from meh to “fuck those guys” on the racism front. A degree from a uni that doesn’t focus on academics should warrant a reduction in the perceived value of their degrees.
I kind of think we’ve been distracted here, though. We’re not talking about DEI or the ideologies that drive their activities. We’re talking about AA. You can have AA policies without DEI staff or their question begging theories.
I was referring to any amount of racism from 0-100. I’d just consider them all pieces of shit at 100 and only a little misled towards the other end.
I guess I feel like I’m willing to let peeps experiment a bit with their own shit so we can see the outcome. When what you’re doing leads to more kids failing, that’s obviously a bad policy.
I mostly take issue with the ideology that leads us to use AA that harms pretty much everyone, including the people it’s designed to help.
In state funded schools I agree. Oh. That’s the context of this post and I should have been more clear on that. For private institutions I don’t think it matters much.

I honestly have never had beans. The only vegetable I’m good with is hummus, but I’m super curious about vegan/vegetarian proteins. I won’t start with lentils, though. Sounds unpleasant for someone with texture issues. Thank you.
My brother in christ, it’s garlic and chickpeas. I’m choosing not to call them garbanzo beans but specifically peas. Tho, yes, but it’s all blended and shit.

You can’t really put a real cost on seizing something like that. Not all of the costs will be up front or even obvious. People don’t like having their stit stolen, oddly enough.
Fair. I was referring to starlink access. They refused to turn them on in Crimea, but they didn’t disable it while Ukraine was on a mission as was initially reported.
