The Department of Education (ED) released a report Thursday advising colleges and universities on ways to increase “diversity” after the Supreme Court’s recent ruling against race-based admissions.
The Supreme Court in June struck down race-based admissions decision in two lawsuits against Harvard and the University of North Carolina. The ED guidance advises colleges and universities to “consider students’ experiences overcoming adversity, as well as their sources of personal inspiration, during the admissions process,” according to the report.
“This report reflects President Biden and Vice President Harris’ unyielding commitment to equal opportunity and provides colleges and universities with a roadmap for advancing student body diversity,” U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said in the press release. “This moment demands leadership, innovation, and collaboration from leaders at every level to break down barriers for underserved students and reimagine pathways into higher education.”
The report states that higher education institutions should perform a “holistic review” in the admission process, which considers an factors including “financial means,” “conditions affecting quality of life,” “access to education within a neighborhood” and “experiences with hardships, including racial discrimination, and other sources of inspiration or demonstration of resiliency.”
“While the SFFA decision limited the ability of colleges and universities to consider an applicant’s race in and of itself as a factor in deciding whether to admit the applicant, there remainlegally permissible ways to advance the critical mission of socioeconomic and racial diversity in American colleges and universities,” the report reads.
The report also recommends that colleges and universities consider getting rid of legacy admissions, which grants admission to applicants whose relatives are alumni or are donors.
The Department of Justice and the ED’s Office for Civil Rights released guidance in August advising colleges and universities on how they might be able to increase diversity by weighing ” a student’s background, including experiences linked to their race, have shaped their lives and the unique contributions they can make to campus.”
Cardona did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
