    Trump Has Clear Advantage Over Universities and Should Seize It

    The Donald Trump administration is starting with a bang as it issued an executive order ending diversity, equity, and inclusion in government and severely curtailing it in the private sector. I expect that opposition to this effort will crumble quickly and most organizations will rapidly abandon the racial preferences that had oddly become accepted as…

    In CNN’s buildup to the Trump inauguration on Monday, anchor Jake Tapper uncorked a lecture about how five Big Tech executives in attendance “control so much of the information that we receive.” Was that a warning?
