What now? Shall we go back to the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act?
This professor already made defamatory statements about the Black students in her law school.
Disgusting.

‘Racist’ Penn Law Prof Makes Disturbing Claim U.S. Is ‘Better Off With Fewer Asians’ uk.movies.yahoo.com/racist-penn-la…
Anyone who thinks there isn't discrimination against Asians in our wealthiest universities should listen to Amy Wax at @pennlaw. Exhibit A when there's a lawsuit.
I don't know, and don't care to know, much more Professor Wax. My family immigrated to America. If her ancestors were here before 1620, she could have something legitimate to say about the character and behavior of immigrants. Otherwise she should keep a lid on it.
Whether or not Amy Wax is fired for racist attacks on Asian Americans, she should have no role in hiring, promoting or firing others. U. Minnesota got sued because a music professor who looked under a woman professor's skirt then participated in defeating her promotion case.

Penn must fire Professor Wax if she made this comment about Asian Americans. Such racist talk has no place in a decent law school.

These statements about Asians are all too similar to statements National Socialists in Germany made about Jews in rhetoric that escalated in the 1920's. The time to put a stop to such hatred is NOW.

Professor Wax already made defamatory statements about Black students. Now she targets Asians. Enough is enough.

What's this about? The University's Board of Regents was acting as if there was plenty of money only a week ago when they raised the University President's salary to over $1 million.

University of Minnesota to Ask State for Almost $1 Billion knsiradio.com/2021/12/27/uni…
I'm fine with the $1 billion from Minnesota taxpayers, provided there is a dollar for dollar tuition reduction for Minnesota residents. College education is unaffordable for far too many students and their families.
Ken Powell is the chairman of the University of Minnesota Board of Regents. He likes big paydays.
He should cover the million dollar payday he arranged for the University president. Then he can come ask the Minnesota taxpayer for more money.

This explains how Justices' connections to professors at top ten law schools are crucial for clerkships. Professors value those relationships a lot.
@POTUS's Supreme Court commission was loaded with professors from top ten schools. We got what we expected.
legaldesire.com/how-to-get-a-s…
When it comes to actual reform of the Supreme Court, we got from this Commission almost nothing. Five Justices can strike down an Act of Congress, as they did in Citizens United. Yet no accountability. No suggestion that Congress reform the Court.
npr.org/2021/12/06/106…
There are 687 life peers in the House of Lords. Since 1911, they have not had power to veto a bill from the House of Commons.
Five life peers can veto an act of Congress in the United States by ruling it unconstitutional.
Makes sense?

This "election fraud" scam is itself FRAUD when used to raise millions. DOJ and state AG's must investigate it as such.
msnbc.com/opinion/sidney…
"A minor agitator suspended by Twitter for repeatedly lying might start a GoFundMe account and complain to sympathetic donors about being 'canceled' by Big Tech. A former president, however, can open a Super PAC and rake in millions...."
What a scam. It's time to prosecute.
Since the 2020 election, I have received dozens of email solicitations from Trump or someone writing on his behalf asking for money. Most of these fundraising pitches come with false statements of fact

"The panel led by [Obama WH Counsel] Bob Bauer...and Cristina Rodriguez, a Yale Law School professor...cautioned that excessive change could potentially erode democracy...."
Huh?
What about SCOTUS eroding democracy by striking down campaign finance laws?
apnews.com/article/corona…
We are quickly moving toward the Supreme Court saying there's a constitutional right for anyone to buy, sell and carry an AR-15, as well as to bribe public officials with electioneering communications, but a woman has no right to an abortion. This Court is going off the rails.
The Founders weren't stupid. If they had wanted there to be only nine justices, the Constitution would have said so. It doesn't. Ours is a representative democracy. If the Court mindlessly strikes down an Act of Congress (e.g. Citizens United), Congress can do something about it.

This is an excellent analysis of misguided federal higher education funding priorities since the 1970's.
Wealthy private institutions get wealthier, public institutions struggle to keep up, tuition everywhere skyrockets and the USA falls further behind.
researchcghe.org/publications/w…
"Among institutions named in the [1972 Carnegie Report on Higher Education] as being in financial trouble or hardship were Stanford University, Tulane University, Boston College, New York University and Harvard."
Huh?
At least it was a good story line for getting federal funds.
The private colleges got what they wanted: The 1972 Higher Education Amendments opted for direct aid to students (most of it subsidized loans not grants) instead of direct federal aid to public colleges. Tuition skyrocketed at private colleges with public colleges soon to follow.
