The Trump administration plans to rescind Obama era guidance urging race based consideration in college admissions. The move would permit race neutral criteria while guidance lacks legal force and could aid defense against lawsuits. Officials say over 2,000 firefighters battle a wind driven northern California wildfire threatening 900 buildings with evacuation orders to 2,500 residents.
