☆ The Supreme Court outlawed race-based admissions for colleges. Factoring in donors and legacy applications is still fine.

Their opinion said that colleges consider legacy status, athlete, financial aid eligibility, and race. Recruited athletes, legacy students, children of faculty and staff, children of honors, and other special recommendations remain lawful. Following the Supreme Court's decision, several lawmakers and former leaders voiced their displeasure with the ruling and how it maintained legacy admissions. "If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous "colorblindness" claims," Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted, "they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged." They introduced a bill this legislative session that bans the practice of legacy admissions in New York colleges and universities, declaring them "discriminatory and inequitable."

☆ Sutherland Springs shooting survivors say DOJ appeal damages gun safety laws

The disharmony between the Justice Department’s case and the Biden administration’s gun safety efforts as well as the fears and pressure that a lost appeal could damage gun safety laws are at the crux of the survivors' acrimony. Why are you doing all this (gun reform) and yet you’re fighting it over here?’” said Juan “Gunny” Macias, a survivor who was shot numerous times in the attack and viewed the president’s gun safety priorities as dissonant with the potential Justice Department appeal. The Justice Department has received two extensions to file its appeal brief, now due next week, and is unlikely to receive another one. “I assume the Justice Department is taking this position because the lawyers are looking for the best legal avenues that will give them the outcome they want,” he said. That’s what creates problems like the ones we’re facing.”For fear of what an appeal could mean for U.S. gun laws, a coalition of 37 gun safety organizations sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland in October about the Justice Department’s intention to appeal.
