The Justice Department is gearing up to probe and file suit against U.S. colleges and universities over affirmative-action admission practices that may discriminate against whites, The New York Times reports. The department is reportedly looking to “redirect resources” of its civil-rights division toward “investigating and suing” those universities. The internal Justice announcement of the shift suggests it would be run out of the division’s front office, staffed by political appointees. It does not specify which universities might be targeted.
