Article text reading “Wow—you are talking like a baby angel raised by puppies in a beachfront palace with no right angles, who has never attempted to wrench useful information out of a government agency’s public-affairs officer. I would give anything to spend 30 narcotic minutes in your gumdrop world. Let me take your round little face between my hands and squeeze it tight as I scream this: That’s not how things work with pennies.”

It remains to be seen how (or if) institutions will attract a racially diverse student body following the 2023 overturn of affirmative action, especially as the Trump administration targets DEI in higher education.

Despite federal pressure, Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity programming has remained largely unchanged In the face of attacks on DEI in higher education by the Trump administration, the University’s Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity maintains administrative support.

When I spoke to the head of Princeton's Office of Institutional Equity and Diversity about our drop in Black student admissions, she focused on how her office helps students "connect to networks of support, find a sense of belonging, and feel confident that they will be treated fairly on campus."

A major difference between our schools is that Harvard reinstated its standardized testing requirement with the class of 2029, while Princeton wont require test score submissions until the class of 2032 (feel old yet?).

This drop also occurred at Princeton, where we reported last month that Black admissions dropped to just five percent, the lowest since 1968.

My thoughts on the public media cuts, if you can afford to, please donate to your local station, they could probably use the support.

RIP, WaPo. Just the saddest screenshots to get. An absolute abandonment of the principles of accountability of the powerful, justice, democracy, human rights, and accurate information that previously animated the section in favor of a white male billionaire’s self-interested agenda.
