The
Justice Department’s civil rights division is preparing to look
into and possibly sue universities whose affirmative action admissions
policies could be deemed discriminatory against white applicants, The New York Times reported Tuesday.
An
internal memo, obtained by the Times, advertised for lawyers within the
agency who would be interested in a new initiative that
includes “investigations and possible litigation related to intentional
race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.”
According
to the Times report, the memo does not list any specific group of
college applicants could be at risk of discrimination. However, the
phrasing “intentional race-based discrimination” is geared towards
affirmative action programs that aim to recruit more minority students
to the student body.
