The Daily's Verdict
This author has a mixed reputation for journalistic standards. It is advisable to fact-check, scrutinize for bias, and check for conflicts of interest before relying on the author's reporting.
Bias
88%
Examples:
- But today, she said, that conversation would not happen at Queens. In fact, Oddi said she feels barred from acting on the student’s racial information at all.
- It’s harder to predict what might happen at highly competitive private universities. They may be guided by the experiences of the public schools, which have deployed a variety of strategies to try to maintain diversity.
- When the Supreme Court overturned race-conscious college admissions last June, Adrienne Oddi and other administrators at Queens University paused their Board of Trustees meeting to acknowledge that their world was entering a new era.
Conflicts of Interest
100%
Examples:
- But Newsom, who wrote the majority opinion, shot back. He suggested that the plaintiffs do not have a genuine stake in the issues in the case and that ’as American Alliance has portrayed its members’ alleged injuries, it has shown nothing more than flopping on the field.
- But Newsom, who wrote the majority opinion, shot back. “We’re talking about real-live, flesh-and-blood individuals who were excluded from the opportunity to compete in Fearless’s contest solely on account of the color of their skin,” he wrote in the majority opinion. “Respectfully, victims of race discrimination – whether white, black, or brown – are not floppers.”
- The plaintiffs, all female entrepreneurs who are not Black, are identified as “Owner A,” “Owner B” and “Owner C.”
Contradictions
85%
Examples:
- A panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit temporarily blocked Fearless Fund from issuing grants reserved for businesses owned by Black women.
- The federal appeals court in Atlanta reversed a lower-court decision that allowed the fund to proceed with its grant contest amid litigation.
Deceptions
46%
Examples:
- A year later, many of the nation’s most selective universities have snapped into compliance with the court’s vision of a colorblind America, reconsidering all the ways they use race as a factor.
- But today, she said, that conversation would not happen at Queens. In fact, Oddi said she feels barred from acting on the student’s racial information at all.
- It’s hard to overstate the sea-change effect that occurred and is, frankly, still occurring... What does this mean for financial aid and scholarships? What does this mean for nonprofit organizations that are partners with institutions that may have a racial focus? What does this mean for issues of sex and gender beyond the question of race and national origin?
