Now that the Supreme Court has ruled against racial discrimination, and the Trump administration is taking violations of law by colleges and universities seriously, officials should put their schools through a rigorous audit to identify and eliminate problems. So argues Adam Kissel in today’s Martin Center article.

He writes,

The stakes are too high for a university to wait and see if its investigatory number comes up. For virtually all institutions, losing tax-exempt status or federal funding (which includes federal student-loan access) is an enterprise risk. Thus, every public and private institution should proactively undergo an institution-wide civil-rights audit led by the institution’s legal counsel.

Yes, even though legal counsel will probably hate doing that. They’re mostly leftist lawyers who are on board with the “social justice” excuses for policies that violate the law. Too bad, but the work needs to be done.

Kissel explains that this audit should be thorough:

Call the whole thing a rights audit, covering both civil rights and constitutional rights. Through a rights audit, an institution can minimize its legal, reputational, and financial exposure. Ensuring rights is also the right thing to do. Many colleges and universities are likely to find that they have legacy webpages that do not comply with their policies of nondiscrimination or free speech and their legal obligations.

So, enjoy your Fourth of July weekend, college leaders, then get to work on ending your violations of law.
