Senators: U.S. colleges reverting to segregation
AG Barr asked to ensure 'prompt and full compliance' with law

Two Senate Republicans have asked Attorney General William Barr to investigate two universities that appear to be going backward in time to the era of segregation, with events that separate whites from non-whites.
Sens. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Kelly Loeffler, R-Ga., said the University of Michigan at Dearborn and the University of Kentucky held events for "non-whites-only" and "whites-only." One was a training session called "Healing Space for Staff of Color." Its counterpart was titled "White Accountability Space."
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, or FIRE, found similar mandatory racial segregation at the first-year orientation program at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.
"Lewis & Clark enlisted a Portland-based 'social justice activism' group to run a mandatory orientation workshop Aug. 29 where, in the name of providing 'safe spaces' for discussion, students were required to choose whether they most identified as one of three options: 'Black,' 'Indigenous, Person of Color,' or 'White.' Students were then divided by race into different virtual Zoom breakout rooms for separate educational experiences, unlawfully limiting their ability within the program to engage with students of different races," FIRE said.
