Harvard University announced it will not comply with orders from Donald Trump to cut DEI programs and expel students in involved in pro-Palestinian protests.
"No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach,” Garber said, “whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.”
Specifically, this tidbit “whom they can admit and hire”
Where does that say what you’re claiming? If the government said they could only hire black students, or white students, or only men, wouldn’t them standing against it be identical? It does not say they’re using quotas. It only says for the government to keep their hands out of their decisions.
The order was to shut down DEI policies, not to stop discrimination. And DEI policies explicitly exist to try to stop discrimination - meaning that what Trump really wants to do is appeal to white men who feel like they’re being left behind when a Pakistani woman gets hired in a position they feel like they ‘deserve’.

Because the order was to stop discrimination. And they’re explicitly refusing.
