Presidential candidate Donald Trump promised to seize endowments from colleges that follow discrimination through equity initiatives and reclaim America’s educational institutions from the hands of the “radical left” in a recent campaign video.

“I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. And schools that persist in explicit, unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment,” Trump said in the May 3 promotional video.
