CHE story here. It’s obviously true that “deals” with a criminal like Trump are almost never reliable, but, contrary to what the article suggests, there is no “academic freedom” right to engage in unlawful discrimination in admissions. The only question here is factual: does Yale continue to discriminate against white and Asian applicants? If so, I can’t see how they will have a leg to stand on in resisting a settlement on that issue. I’m not even sure the faculty represented by the Yale AAUP would have standing to sue over any settlement of the admissions issue.
