JUSTICE INVOLVED INDIVIDUALS

Criminals and trouble makers = black people = justice involved individuals

Orwellian doublespeak in all its glory.

The Obama administration has ordered the nation’s colleges and universities to stop asking applicants about criminal and school disciplinary history because it discriminates against minorities. Institutions are also being asked to offer those with criminal records special support services such as counseling, mentoring and legal aid once enrolled. The government’s official term for these perspective students is “justice-involved individuals” and the new directive aims to remove barriers to higher education for the overwhelmingly minority population that’s had encounters with the law or disciplinary issues through high school.

Instructions are outlined in a cumbersome document (Beyond the Box) issued by the U.S Department of Education (ED) this month. It says that “data show plainly that people of color are more likely to come in contact with the justice system due, in part, to punitive school disciplinary policies that disproportionately impact certain student groups and racial profiling.” Because education can be a powerful pathway to transition out of prison and into the workforce, it’s critical to ensure that admissions practices don’t disproportionately disadvantage justice involved individuals, the directive states. Colleges and universities should also refrain from inquiring about a student’s school disciplinary history—including past academic dishonesty—because that too discriminates against minorities. Civil rights data compiled by ED show “black students are suspended and expelled at a rate three times greater than white students and often for the same types of infractions.”

Therefore colleges and universities should consider designing admissions policies that don’t include disciplinary history so they don’t have the “unjustified effect of discriminating against individuals on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, religion and disability,” the new ED guidelines state. Three out of four colleges and universities collect high school disciplinary information and 89% of those institutions use the information to make admissions decisions, according to the order. That needs to change, according to the administration. A few years ago it warned public elementary and high schools to administer student discipline without discriminating on the bases of race, color or national origin because too many minority students—especially blacks—were getting suspended. The feds assert they issued the directive after reports of “racial disparities” in “exclusionary discipline policies” that created a “school to prison pipeline.”

Colleges and universities are to take it a step further by offering students with criminal histories special support services. This is to include targeted academic and career guidance as well as counseling, legal aid services, mentoring and coaching. “Institutions should recruit and train peer mentors with previous justice involvement to work with justice-involved students to ensure a smooth transition to postsecondary education and provide support and resources throughout their time at the college or university,” the new directive states. “These peer mentors could begin their work by acting as navigators who help acclimate justice-involved students to the educational institutions.” Perhaps colleges and universities should also start sending recruiters to jails across the country.

This is part of a broader effort by the administration to even the playing field for convicts. Earlier this month Judicial Watch reported that the president issued an order prohibiting federal agencies from asking job applicants about criminal history. The measure will ensure that hiring managers are making selection decisions based solely on qualifications, according to a White House announcement. “Early inquiries into an applicant’s criminal history may discourage motivated, well-qualified individuals who have served their time from applying for a federal job,” the announcement says, adding that “early inquiries could also lead to the disqualification of otherwise eligible candidates.”

Years ago the administration tried slamming the private sector with a ban on job applicant background checks by claiming that they discriminate against all minority candidates, not just ex-cons. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the federal agency that enforces the nation’s workplace discrimination laws, wasted taxpayer dollars suing companies for checking criminal histories asserting that it violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The apparent intent was to discourage other businesses from checking criminal histories out of fear of getting sued by the government, but it didn’t quite work out that way. A federal judge eventually blasted the EEOC’s claims, calling them laughable, distorted, cherry-picked, worthless and an egregious example of scientific dishonesty. Of interesting note is that the EEOC conducts criminal background checks as a condition of employment.

So, now a rapist who identifies as a female can be assigned as a roommate to your gifted 16 year old daughter and no one would ever know.

The term ‘minority’ is offensive and may constitute a micro-aggression, I prefer the term ‘numerically challenged’.

The question asked about the tranny in the dorm room?
Correct! Part of the law O wrote re bathrooms extends to
the roommate selection in college dorms. Everybody sleeps
and potties wherever they want to when they want to.
The “law” will apply to every situation, and if you even call
the person (accidentally) by the wrong gender pronoun it
is off to jail for you. What is this crap? I hate it.

It would be a real shame to miss out on the diversity of some unruly dindu interrupting your gender studies class….

This is a good thing, guys. Our institutions of higher learning(haha) our beyond repair at this point. The more things like this happen, the more thinking, regular, every day white people will decide these places aren’t worth sending their kids too. Eventually having a diploma from many of them will become a liability rather than an asset, as business owners won’t hire then since they both a- don’t want some SJW around who constantly complains about asinine bullshit and making excuses for all sorts of bad behavior and b- doesn’t know jackshit about working for a living, having spent the last 16 years in progressive run schools that don’t teach skills anymore, only how to complain about made up grievances.

Anything that hastens the collapse of this clownshow is a good thing. Unless you are the rate STEM major, these places ceased teaching anything useful a long time ago. This will, hopefully, cause more productive citizens and useful people to keep their kids out of there, and bring about something better. Even though it doesn’t seem like it, this is a good thing. Burn it down.

Hey gator, stay out of the stupid majors and you won’t have to worry about idiots interrupting. Fewer of them in math, business, sciences. That will also be the new identifier. I would not hire anyone with a significant concentration, let alone major, in any of the victims studies fields. You just know they will be like a cancer in your organization along with useless.

I didn’t make it past the first two sentences:

“The Obama administration has ordered the nation’s colleges and universities to stop asking applicants about criminal and school disciplinary history because it discriminates against minorities. Institutions are also being asked to offer those with criminal records special support services such as counseling, mentoring and legal aid once enrolled. ”

The schools are required to NOT ask the students if they are criminals but are required to offer them special services.

WTF??? Even if the schools wanted to obey the orders how are they supposed to when they conflict???

David, it’s not me I’m worried about, I’m done with that part of my life. It’s my kids. I’ll be steering them in the STEM direction. My hope, as posted above, is that this will crash an burn before my young kids are college age. It has to. Most people who are not of the perpetual victim class are getting more and more fed up with this. Also, the price is getting so outrageous that even 18 year olds are wary of going into that much debt. Prices on college can’t go parabolic forever, either. The govt won’t be able to paper over the growing waves of delinquent student loans forever either. People will demand an end to this, too. Once that happens, look out below. Once the students/parents have to pay for this service in an environment with no federal freebies, colleges will have to actually get competitive with both quality of education and price again. A lot of useless administrators and teachers of useless things will be out of a job too. One day….

Greetings,

People will get the big wake up call after several million of them starve to death in our streets. The very moment Uncle Sugar isn’t there to force the rest of us at gunpoint to provide for these worthless klowns will be the moment the famine begins. I hate that it has come to this but do not fool yourselves – it is us or them. Frankly, I’d rather it be them.

OK, I admit my vid may be a little longish at 28 seconds, it would only be 14 seconds if it wasn’t repeated.

For the attention deficit crowd, I will summarize: the bitch can’t add, good thing she’s a model and will probably marry a famous rapper or jock.

Been out of pocket today. One of the Pyrs had a mad trip to the emergency animal hospital an hour away for seizures. He qualifies for special consideration now for college because he’s been diagnosed with epilepsy.

Uncle Charley

Why not just give them a free degree, that’s the final step anyway.

What does a dog need a degree for? He already has a feather-bed job at Maggie’s.

Look, Unca Charlie, they had to give them a easy major, can’t have them failing all they classes.

Besides, Rap Interpretation, Theory of Poverty, Cultural Engineering, Applied Confrontation Techniques, Causal Transference and Rapid Electronics Transport sound like interesting classes.

We are Zimbabwe…

The white folks caved and put a nigger in charge(Robert Mugabe) and then the black on white killing began. Of course no investigation or charges filed. It was all good because of past practice of the evil white folks. The bread basket of Africa reverted to a starving hoard of niggers.

Can anyone see anything similar here?

The only way to wake up these white assholes is for them to witness/partake starvation and death.

smarter criminals paid for by uncle sam, almost boggles the mind, but maybe they can become lawyers and politicians and swell the ranks

monger says: smarter criminals paid for by uncle sam, almost boggles the mind,

Back in the 60’s Stan Lee came up with colorful phrases like ‘senses shattering’ and ‘mind boggling’ to amplify his great comics sound effects. Years later, morans speak of things boggling the mind like it was a real thing. It begs the question (quoth the moran) do people know what they are saying or simply repeating things they heard higher order primates saying?
