I'm convinced university bureaucracies will "game" any prohibitions/restrictions on DEI, affirmative action, etc. How do we address this? Legal actions?? Thanks

There are 3 issues (at least) that our political class keep beyond the range of democratic accountability (meaning that no votes or rulings will impede them and their goals/needs):

The first of course being war, which is too big a business and mints too many millionaires and generals to let the plebes interfere;

The second is illegal immigration, which is too important to both sides (the Republican masters are addicted to cheap labor, the Democrats are addicted to displaying how deeply they love the brown and poor);

The third is "affirmative action" or social engineering by race, which our businesses use to ward off lawsuits and academia uses as a prerogative of nobility and their existential need to be White Saviors.

Thus, it makes no difference what the Supreme Court rules, there is nothing short of a military occupation of every college admissions office that would stop AA. If anything, the racial transfiguration of every American institution will proceed apace (and maybe even increase), because it is too crucial a sacred belief of our ruling class for them to relinquish.

Yes, the DEI structure has lots of support in the rest of the bureaucracy. At best they will lay low until the storm passes and then resume their efforts in some other guise. They can do this bc taxpayers are supporting them. We need a way to selectively defund/unemploy the worst actors.
