保守派法律倡导团体的一项新投诉称，怀俄明大学的四项基于种族的奖学金违反了联邦法律。
The Equal Protection Project’s civil rights complaint states the programs violate both Title VI and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution by discriminating based on sex, race, or national origin.
The Hearst Scholars Award Scholarship, for example, is only available to “American Indian/Alaska Native; Asian American/Pacific Islander; Black/African American; or Hispanic/Mexican American/Latino/Chicano” students, according to the complaint.
“UW’s explicit race- and sex-based scholarships are presumptively invalid, and since there is no compelling government justification for such invidious discrimination, UW’s offering, promotion, and administration of these programs violates state and federal civil rights statutes and constitutional equal protection guarantees,” the complaint states.
Reached for comment, EPP founder William Jacobson told The College Fix the complaint “is based on how the scholarships are promoted and the eligibility criteria set forth by the university on its website.”
Jacobson referenced past rulings from the U.S.Supreme Court, claiming that the harm is the barrier itself, not the inability of others to obtain the benefit.
