And he was right, but not in the way that he imagined.

From the documents that we've obtained, the faculty that we've interviewed, we found that he has built a system of discrimination against whites, Asians, and Jews, especially men from those different racial categories. that are in total violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the 14th Amendment. And so these documents from our report have now rocketed around the Department of Justice.

And I think what's going to happen with these Ivy League universities is that they're going to be caught doing something illegal. But for the first time ever, because the Trump administration is taking up these issues in a real way, they're actually going to pay an enormous price. And That's what we're seeing not just at Princeton, but really almost everywhere in higher education.

That is a real quote, and it's not just a singular incident. You know, my sources on the faculty at Princeton have said there is a kind of spoken and unspoken assumption in hiring. that you have to do everything you can to avoid hiring white men in particular. And a professor was told explicitly, you cannot hire this person because he's a white man.

This professor went to the department chair, who happens to be Jewish, and said, hey, this is what we did at Princeton to Jews 70, 80 years ago. It's discrimination and it's wrong. And this department chair responded simply, this is what we have to do. And so this is the kind of rot inside academia that has been festering for a long time. It's finally coming to the surface.

And I know that Harmeet Dhillon, who's at the Department of Justice Civil Rights as the Deputy Secretary, she's taking a close look at these policies. And she is a very good and very tough lawyer, as you know. And I don't think she's going to pull any punches.

Well, we face a really critical question about our Constitution and our law. Does the law apply to all groups equally, or does the law apply to certain groups but not other groups? My contention is that we can only have a great country if the law applies to everyone equally.

And so we should approach this with just as much urgency as President Eisenhower approached it in the 1950s and President Kennedy approached it in the 1960s. I think we have three basic remedies. The first remedy is what the president has already put on the table, stripping federal funds from these institutions which are in violation of federal law.

The second remedy is what's called a consent decree, which has been used by the left on police departments and other institutions, which basically means you put these universities under the control of a legal process and a federal judge who will oversee the administration from the inside to ensure that they're not discriminating.

And then there's the third option that was used by Eisenhower and Kennedy, which is to send in federal troops, to send in the 101st Airborne, to force these universities to desegregate, to stop discriminating and stop scapegoating. That's, of course, an ultimate option. I don't think we're there yet, but we should absolutely keep that kind of dramatic intervention on the table.
