A Michigan-Flint University professor says Harvard's hosting a music program open to “all BIPOC students” is a Title VI violation.
Professor Mark Perry filed a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights over an upcoming program at Harvard that will require applicants to disclose their race .
“No Label Academy at Harvard,” is a “music business” course that will be hosted by rapper IDK .
It is “open to all BIPOC individuals interested in music business,” and designed to build “a pipeline for BIPOC talent to kickstart their music careers,” according to the program’s website.
Those who apply must disclose their “racial or ethnic group,” and all expenses will be paid for those admitted to take the course .
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race under any program receiving federal funding.
“In violation of Title VI, this program discriminates on the basis of skin color by operating exclusively for BIPOC individuals only and illegally excluding and discriminating against non-BIPOC individuals on the basis of skin color,” states Perry’s complaint .
The professor says “in some cases like this, a university might claim that they are merely renting space on its campus to a discriminatory group or program, but they are not affiliated with the program or endorsing it.”
“ I don’t think Harvard can make that claim . Harvard should be considered a partner because the program name is ‘No Label Academy at Harvard’ and a Harvard faculty member is serving as an adviser to the program.”
“Therefore, Harvard should be held accountable as being complicit with the discriminatory practices of an outside group that is using Harvard’s name, its campus, its academic reputation, and its faculty to promote a program that violates Title VI.”

Welcome to 2021 where racism is back and fully encouraged and rewarded...
Seems a tad redundant. Blacks and Indians are already people of color (and that’s assuming White people aren’t a person of color)
Segregation now, etc.

NO EVIL WHITES ALLOWED !!
Sounds to me like a bunch of white folk declare themselves as POC and put in to go.
What if you’re bipolar communist?
A white student could claim to be transracial as a black student in order to attend this class.
I see the democrats are being racist again. Some things never change.
