In case you hadn’t noticed, the Biden administration has embraced the ‘equity’ narrative so prevalent in higher education.

Biden Administration Implements a Racial Spoils SystemThe Biden administration is doubling down on the color-conscious policies that were the hallmark of its first year in office through a series of “action plans,” which it released through every executive bureaucracy last month. Only this time, in a bid to avert legal reversals, the administration is concealing its racial spoils system under bureaucratic euphemisms.As we explain in a new report, the administration’s 25 plans will implement discrimination as the official policy of the executive branch; make the government much less efficient; award contracts to uncompetitive bidders, thereby wasting taxpayer money, impair national defense, and further hamper the drive for excellence—or even adequacy—in the nation’s schools.Evidence of how radical the equity action plans are can be seen in who participated in their conception. In the process of effusively praising the plans, the main Black Lives Matter organization revealed it had helped write them. Indeed, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation said it worked with the Biden team on these barely hidden race-conscious policies since before it even got into office.“Biden’s action plan is a major win for the organizations like Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation who have been working with the White House to help develop it since the end of 2020,” said the organization the day after the plans were announced by the White House.“The solutions in the plan are the result of tireless advocacy and organizing from the grassroots level and beyond, and we are heartened to see the result of so many racial justice advocates’ hard work be written into federal policy today,” said the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation in a statement.
