More Reasons to Hold the Ivory Tower in Contempt

 7/22/25 The College Fix:

Through public records act requests, a conservative scholar has discovered documents — including hiring policies, proposals, reports, and internal emails — that show how officials at several major universities rejected applicant pools with too many white scholars.

Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow John Sailer recently reported that he found administrators have tracked applicant demographics at each stage of the hiring process, with negative consequences for pools that do not meet sufficiently diverse standards.

The paperwork covers incidents at University of Texas at Austin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Ohio State University and Cornell from between 2001 to 2023.

Media representatives for the universities, in statements this month to The College Fix, argued the incidents took place prior to newly enacted anti-diversity, equity and inclusion laws and policies within GOP-controlled states and the second Trump administration.

So admitting that they discriminated based on race.  I am sure their excuse was diversity and how this improves teaching, especially for minorities.  The latter is a claim that BiPOCs are such delicate little flowers that they can only learn from the same race.  Some of us grew up believing that appearances do not matter.  I guess we were wrong.  The ivory tower is now in league with the KKK.
