In today's edition of "Unforseen consequences of a university or business engaging in lame, empty virtue signalling," after Princeton University's idiotic president picked up the woke torch and proclaimed that Princeton is a "racist institution," the Dept. of Education took him at his word and launched an investigation into racial bias at the school.
Unfortunately, the only source I can find for this is the cringe-worthy Washington Examiner (a publication I generally loathe), so take it with a huge grain of rock salt until verified by a (more) credible source.
Regardless, this example of "instant karma" gave me a good laugh.

The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is under investigation following the school president's declaration that racism was "embedded" in the institution.
President Christopher L. Eisgruber published an open letter earlier this month claiming that "[r]acism and the damage it does to people of color persist at Princeton" and that "racist assumptions" are "embedded in structures of the University itself."
According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that "no person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."
