TRUMP-BARR JUSTICE DEPARTMENT SUES YALE FOR DISCRIMINATING IN ADMISSIONS

 

The Department of Justice has sued Yale University for race and national origin discrimination in undergraduate admissions. The DOJ alleges that Yale’s discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, in particular most Asian and White applicants.

 

According to the complaint, Yale engages in racial balancing by, among other things, keeping the annual percentage of African-American admitted applicants to within one percentage point of the previous year’s admitted class as reflected in U.S. Department of Education data. The complaint alleges similar racial balancing with regard to Asian-American applicants. It also alleges that Yale injures applicants and students because its race discrimination relies upon and reinforces damaging race-based stereotypes, including such stereotypes against Yale’s racially-favored applicants.

 

The DOJ brings the suit after a multi-year investigation into allegations of illegal discrimination contained in a complaint filed by Asian American groups. The Department found that Yale violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. Title VI provides: “No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, … be subjected to discrimination under any program … receiving Federal financial assistance.”

‘Suck it Big Gretch’: Lansing barber reopens with maskless haircuts

 

THURSDAY, Oct. 8 — A Lansing barber is once again flouting COVID-19 precautions, advertising “no mask required” haircuts and telling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to “suck it.”

 

Brian Caskey, owner of Classic Barber Shop on Michigan Avenue in Lansing, appears to be back in business this week and actively spreading misinformation about statewide and countywide restrictions that still mandate face masks be worn while in indoor public spaces.

 

A post on Caskey’s Facebook page shows a logo for his barbershop, alongside white text that plainly reads “No mask required! Suck it Big Gretch!” He was also booking weekend haircuts.

 

“Bring it,” Caskey told a City Pulse reporter in response to questions about his mask policies.

 

After the Michigan Supreme Court invalidated the bulk of Whitmer’s executive orders that mandated face masks and other precautions in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services this week submitted a replacement.

 

Under a newly implemented emergency order, face masks must be worn at all indoor and outdoor gatherings that are defined as “any occurrence where persons from multiple households are present in a shared space in a group of two or more” — like a barber shop — and requires businesses to enforce those requirements for gatherings on their premises.

 

Caskey appears to be open on an appointment-only basis at the moment, but just him and a single unrelated customer inside his store could arguably constitute a “group of two or more.”

 

Ingham County, as also allowed under state law, has also issued its own orders that mandate face coverings be worn in any indoor public space and bars businesses from providing service to maskless customers — with limited exceptions for children and those with medical issues.

 

A violation of either order is a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail and a $200 fine. An individual may also be arrested if a violation occurs in the presence of a police officer or if the police officer has a “reasonable cause” to believe the individual violated the local orders.

Supreme Court declines to reinstate medical abortion restriction

 

The Supreme Court on Thursday declined to act on a Trump administration request to reinstate a rule mandating that abortion-inducing drugs be taken in the presence of a doctor

Instead, the justices returned the case to a federal trial court in Maryland and gave the judge there 40 days to rule on the administration's request.

The administration is expected to ask the judge to either lift or narrow an order he entered in July that suspended a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) rule requiring women to take an abortion pill in the presence of a doctor.

U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang, an Obama appointee, agreed in July to temporarily lift the in-person requirement during the health emergency, citing the risks of face-to-face contact.

The ruling came in response to a lawsuit from the American College Of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as well as doctors and patients.
