Education Secretary Linda McMahon and her legal team have dropped their appeal of a federal court ruling that blocked the department from requiring colleges to eradicate all race-based curriculum, financial aid and student services or lose federal funding.
The motion to dismiss was jointly approved by both parties in the case Wednesday, ending a nearly yearlong court battle over the department’s Feb. 14 Dear Colleague letter that declared race-based programming and policies illegal. If institutions didn’t comply within two weeks, department officials threatened to open investigations and rescind federal funding.
In response, colleges closed offices related to diversity, equity and inclusion; scrubbed websites; and cut other programming.

They don’t need the appeal anymore, the damage is already done.
No it isn’t. Colleges still teach race based curriculum, still have financial aid, and still have student services.
How many universities capitulated? How many paid the ransom?
So that “race-based” is universal as a modified - they were seeking to force colleges to stop considering race or anything that appeared to be racially based in financial aid and student services.
Right, and a judge told them no, they started an appeal, then dropped it. The damage isn’t already done.
Except a fuck ton already got rid of those things.
