    Now the president of Princeton will have to clarify that he meant it in a Pickwickian sense.https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/exclusive-education-department-opens-investigation-into-princeton-university-after-president-deems-racism-embedded-in-the-school …

        This seems in sharp contrast with the current administration's positions on racism.

        Racism is indeed embedded. This is the right things to acknowledge. Now we can solve it. Gradually but surely.

        The takeaway here is to avoid disclosure.

        Unis became businesses and now their customers don't like the managers. Given the price, customers have very high expectations indeed, and customers are always right.

        Smart moves by the Trump administration. This discourages other universities from doing the same, somewhat suppressing “racial discourse”.

        I think its a great opportunity to take away all federal funding to colleges that claim they are using tax money with racist tones

        Statements against interest should be taken seriously, and if Princeton is, indeed, systemically racist, federal funding should be eliminated. Following the admission of racist policy, strong evidence to the contrary should be required.
