The U.S. Justice Department on Thursday accused Yale University of illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants in its undergraduate admissions process in violation of U.S. civil rights law.

The findings are the result of a two-year investigation in response to a complaint by Asian-American groups concerning Yale’s conduct, the department said in a statement.
The department said it was prepared to file a lawsuit against Yale if the school, in New Haven, Connecticut, did not take “remedial measures.”
A Yale spokeswoman said the university “categorically denies” the allegations but has cooperated fully with the investigation. The Justice Department made its findings before allowing Yale to provide requested documents, Yale said.
“Had the Department fully received and fairly weighed this information, it would have concluded that Yale’s practices absolutely comply with decades of Supreme Court precedent,” the spokeswoman said.
The Justice Department said that although race can lawfully be considered in college admissions in limited circumstances, “Yale’s use of race is anything but limited.” The elite school “uses race at multiple steps of its admissions process resulting in a multiplied effect of race on an applicant’s likelihood of admission,” the Justice Department said.
The Justice Department has previously filed legal briefs in support of a lawsuit, brought by affirmative action opponents, accusing Harvard University of discriminating against Asian Americans.
A federal judge in Boston ruled in favor of Harvard last year, saying the school’s affirmative action program advanced a legitimate interest in having a diverse student body. An appeal of that ruling is pending. The case could eventually reach the Supreme Court.
Affirmative action programs in higher education were meant to address racial discrimination. The Supreme Court has ruled universities may use affirmative action with the aim of helping minority applicants get into college.
U.S. conservatives have said that in helping Black and Latino applicants, affirmative action can hurt white people and Asian Americans.

Women in Germany feel largely unable to move about large cities without risk of verbal or physical harassment, a new study suggests. Every fourth woman reports experiencing sexual harassment in her city.
Almost no women feel safe when traveling about the large German cities of Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne and Munich, according to a study by the German branch of Plan International, a children’s rights organization.
For the study, dubbed “Safe in the City,” almost 1,000 women aged 16-71 were requested to place markers on an interactive map in city locations that they have experienced as safe or unsafe. Eighty percent of altogether 1,267 marked locations were classified as unsafe, for reasons including verbal harassment when jogging in the park, badly lit streets, stalking or unwanted touching of a sexual nature.
“Our survey shows that girls and women do not really feel safe or able to move freely in their city. On average, each of the respondents marked one unsafe location in her surrounding area,” said Maike Röttger, the director of Plan International in Germany.
“Every fourth woman has experienced sexual harassment and every fifth woman has been followed, insulted or threatened,” Röttger said, adding that the study findings were concerning.
Nighttime fears
The most frequent reasons given for feeling threatened were encounters with people under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, badly lit paths and parks and lonely areas where no help would be available in the case of an emergency.
Röttger called for action, saying that every girl and woman had a right to move about in her city freely and without fear. She said they should be included in planning and structuring their urban surroundings to make them safer.
But Röttger also called for a change in thinking about gender roles, saying many boys and men still thought it was all right to harass women. “Underlying stereotypes and discrimination are the reason why girls and women cannot feel safe,” she said.
According to the study, women felt most in danger after dark, with 806 of the 1,014 negative markers indicating evenings or nights and only 208 applying to the daytime.
A 2018 study carried out by Plan International in New Delhi, Sydney, Lima and Madrid made similar findings, with most girls and women saying they feel unsafe in those cities.

The former interior minister faces a possible trial for refusing to let a ship carrying 150 migrants dock in Italy last year
MILAN—The Italian Senate voted to lift the immunity of Matteo Salvini, paving the way for the country’s former interior minister and the leader of the opposition to face a possible trial for refusing to let a ship carrying 150 migrants dock in Italy last year, and bringing the issue of migration to Europe back to the fore as the continent tries to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed an executive order on Wednesday, officially declaring racism a public health crisis.
In an effort to “elevate Black voices,” the order also mandates that a state advisory council centered around Black leadership be created. Additionally, Whitmer wants the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to have all state employees complete implicit bias training in an effort to “make health equity a major goal.”
“We must confront systemic racism head on so we can create a more equitable and just Michigan,” Whitmer said in a statement. “This is not about one party or person. I hope we can continue to work towards building a more inclusive and unbiased state that works for everyone.”

Michigan isn’t the first state to declare racism a public health crisis; Colorado and Wisconsin have done so recently as well. On a more local level, municipalities in 19 states have taken similar steps, including California, Pennsylvania and Texas.
Many of the declarations come after the American Public Health Association (APHA) declared systemic racism a public health crisis at the beginning of June — shortly after Minneapolis police killed George Floyd, a Black man.
Floyd’s death regalvanized the Black Lives Matter movement and spurred nationwide protests that have been happening for most of the summer.
Moreover, health experts have found that COVID-19 has affected the U.S.‘s communities of color at disproportionate rate.
According to The Detroit News, Black Americans account for roughly 27 percent of the confirmed cases and nearly 40 percent of its deaths, although Michigan is only 14 percent Black overall.
Michigan has 84,050 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 6,219 deaths.
Therefore, she should order the borders closed and social distancing boundaries to be put into full effect.

Anti-Racism is Cartesian.
It is anti social classification and discrimination accordingly. It is not innocent, it is prejudiced. It is prejudice against prejudice; it is hurting and it is killing people.
It is also no less true, nor contradictory of the first statement to say that anti-racism is a Jewish construct.
It is a prohibition, especially for White people, but really for any non-Jewish people from rendering social classifications and discrimination accordingly in order to maintain those classifications (prohibited, even if those classificatory discriminations are just, humane, and warranted on the basis of well reasoned patterns of human ecology).
Open Borders Inc: Taxpayers and Church donors fund their own destruction and displacement.
Soros teams-up with NGO’s and Religious Charities to open borders. So called conservative Republicans culpable as well.
Google and other Tech giants in cahoots with SPLC and ADL to enforce censorship and “cancel culture.”
Anne Corcoran’s site - Refugee Resettlement Watch - shut down.
......

Michelle Malkin:
Whether its quoting from the tax documents of these tax exempt non profit charities that are essentially the political action arm of the Democrat party, or exhaustive lists of the legal organizations that make up the illegal alien lawyers lobby ...more than 400 groups that I mention…
I think that its important that American tax payers know that it’s largely their money that is funding their own destruction.
(4:45)
Alex Marlow:
And for me one thing that really hurt, as a Catholic, was knowing how much the collection money goes straight to the illegal alien enablers.
You (Michelle) go after the financial beneficiaries of immigration.
Michelle Malkin:
Yes, and your average consumer of conservative information is very familiar with the name George Soros.
But I think they’re less familiar with the interaction and the infrastructure between George Soros and The Vatican and The Catholic Church..and every one of its sub-organizations; the conference on Catholic Bishops, the Campaign for Human Development, Catholic Charities, Catholic Relief Services ....The Jesuit Refugee Service, and its role in standing up the illegal alien shelter network stretching all the way from Central America to churches inside the United States.
So people need to think very carefully if they’re going to sit in Catholic Church pugh’s if they’re going to contribute to the annual Thanks Giving Fund.
Because that is multiple, multiple millions of dollars that is going to go straight into amnesty shills that operate as a smuggling network.
(6:30)
Alex Marlow:
And you also are not afraid to go after people on the right…
You don’t hold back from people who are on the dole from the right on the Open Borders Lobby.
This includes the tech giants and their role.
I had no cue as to how open borders that Jeff Bezos was.
He backs all these open borders groups.
and he’s probably the least threatening of the tech giants at the moment. ..we know Google and Facebook’s history of it…the thing in Washington now is that people on the right are getting bought off by these people.
(7:37)
Michell Malkin:
Yes, I would agree.
There are many of these beltway establishment Republicans who are completely bought off.
I talk openly about the Koch brothers; the Libra Organization they sponsor is as bad as any Soros operation that shills for so called illegal alien dreamers.
(10:08)
Alex Marlow:
“Talk to us about this war on national sovereignty…and what it really means, which is a war for globalism”...
Michelle Malkin:
“Yes and this is not some wild, black helicopter conspiracy ....all of the Soros paid minions have already attacked me as some sort of conspiracy theorist….I call them Soros flying monkeys.”
“But Soros is very explicit about it in his books and in his speeches all over the world, that sovereignty is a quote unquote obstacle - OBSTACLE.
So, he sees our borders as obstacles. ...and our walls and every attempt to enforce our sovereignty and the rule of law.
...and you’ve got a lot of very learned listeners who understand what the United Nations agenda is”...
Alex Marlow:
Their agenda is grifting brown people.
Michelle Malkin:
There you go, that’s pretty much the bottom line.
And so people wonder how did Minneapolis turn into what it turned into (this was posted last September).
...and Lewiston, Maine and Nashville, Tennessee.
Well, if you have been paying attention to UNGA assemblies every year, you would understand that.
[In opposition to these global compacts] It is very encouraging to me to hear plans floated of zeroing-out the refugee resettlement numbers - a moratorium is long overdue.
Not only for the financial and cultural impact that it’s causing on a lot of these working class neighborhoods and towns that never got a say in whether they wanted these refugees, largely from Muslim countries and African countries in the first place, but also, on September 11th, to consider the national security implications of bringing people over here who have an unshakable hatred of all things Western.
Alex Marlow:
Yeah, this is about a war on the West, this is where this is going.
Michelle Malkin:
And where does this come from?
This is why I thought it was very important to include a chapter on The Southern Poverty Law Center.
Long before the deplatformings that we’ve seen over the last year or so, back in 2006 and 2007 there was a little video that popped up on Youtube ... in partnership between La Raza and the ADL..
..creating a guide book of code words of hate, and Michelle was on this list and in this video because she had used the word “invasion” (Azatlan, Reconquista and Invasion).
Alex Marlow:
I had no clue that Google was working with the SPLC.
Michelle Malkin:
...of course it’s not just Google. We mentioned Amazon and Tim Cook, who is in the hip pocket of the SPLC, Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg.
But even other platforms where I had never worried that they would be polluted by politics - WordPress.
I mentioned in the book that a heroine of mine, Anne Corcoran, who runs, or ran, an incredible reporting blog called Refugee Resettlement Watch, had that whole blog, the plug was just completely pulled, just two months ago (July 2019) by Word Press.
...my blog is on Word Press, and I wake up every morning worrying that my blog will no longer exist.
