AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME?:  In “How Trump Can Ensure Fair Admissions,” Kristen Shapiro has an excellent suggestion:  Require schools to publish and report admissions data in a way that would make it much easier for the federal government to detect race discrimination.

My colleagues and I had a number of similar (but not identical) ideas when I first joined the Commission on Civil Rights.  But it was around the tail-end of the GWBush Administration and the beginnings of the Obama Administration.  And it was pre-SFFA. Our ideas didn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell then.  But maybe things are different now.
