After refusing to meet for drinks with the head of the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus Foundation, the organization told the Hispanic student she was not eligible for a scholarship given she was Muslim, the young woman claims in court.
Moriah Elusta has sued the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus Foundation (ILLCF) and the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC) in Cook County Court. She is seeking punitive damages for breach of contract and violation of due process.
Elusta, a student of UIC from 2011 to 2014 who was on track to graduate in three years with a 3.32 grade point average, claims ILLCF’s CEO Michael Gonzalez told there would be “problems for her at UIC” if she did not meet with him for drinks after Elusta had won a $2,000 scholarship from the non-profit organization in late 2013.
The plaintiff "received a phone call from Michael Gonzalez…who stated that the scholarship money came from his 'pocket'; and that she needed to meet with him and get drinks in order to receive her award," according to the complaint reported by Courthouse News.
"Mr. Gonzalez added that if plaintiff did not meet with him, he would cause problems for her at UIC."
Elusta’s father found out that scholarships provided by ILLCF come from business donations, not from the CEO. Her father took the matter to an ILLCF donor, Commonwealth Edison, which told Mr. Elusta that it would end its funding of ILLCF, the complaint says.

She can predict to the hundredths place what her GPA will be after 3 more years?
They could have had a damn coke. It’s his money so he can give it to who he wants... Oh wait...this is Obamas America.
Anyway, yes, I’d want to size up who I was donating my earnings to.
