Virginia Colleges Use Racial Considerations in Admissions Process
 [Breitbart] The Center for Equal Opportunity released a report earlier this month that shows colleges in Virginia, including those considered elites on the university landscape, are considering race in the admissions process.The center’s research fellow, Althea Nagai, compiled the report focused on five public universities in the commonwealth: University of Virginia, William & Mary, Virginia Tech, James Madison University, and George Mason University. "We uncovered a significant amount of discrimination, especially at the first two schools," the center said in a press release about the report. "Over the years, CEO has obtained data, as we did here, from public colleges and universities through state freedom of information laws, analyzed what we found, and released dozens of studies of schools all over the country," the press release said. The report was released in conjunction with the Federalist Society’s Regulatory Transparency Project. "Virginia’s public universities are perhaps the country’s most selective among those still allowed to use racial and ethnic preferences (California, for example, and a number of other states have banned such discrimination as a matter of state law)," the center said of its report.
