But now that scotus has struck down affirmative action, diversity is not a compelling interest, they can go back to merit without losing federal funding?
The increase in Latino is a university of California tactic. California gave up on black affirmative action but focused on Latino. California struck down affirmative action in 1995 and again in 2020. And yet affirmative action for Latino is still kosher because 45 percent of the state speaks Spanish as a first or second language

All the rankings are bogus anyway. Usless News rankings rely heavily on faculty opinions, i.e., academics gratifying each other.

Boeing and Biden administration in a DEI feedback loop:
> In a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency. The parties’ DEI efforts only serve to undermine this confidence in the Government and Boeing’s ethics and anti-fraud efforts. Accordingly, the diversity-and-inclusion provision renders the plea agreement against the public interest.

It is interesting that despite all those top-rated graduates in “women’s studies”, the Supreme Court still can’t find a woman who can define what a woman is.

It is beyond ironic that SCOTUS is THE final arbiter of what the law means. I guess it means nothing that the laws consist of WORDS. It follows that if words lack precise definitions how can their combination have definite meaning? The Constitution requires that the meaning of laws must be clear, or else they are void for vagueness. It seems inhabit Babel, soon Chaos.

Maybe STEM departments should declare independence around the nation. One could also buy one of the failed campuses and create a student family-friendly environment for R&D [https://www.loopnet.com/search/schools/for-sale/](https://www.loopnet.com/search/schools/for-sale/)
