As I was reading the article it became clear there is a lot more to the story — one of the issues is that the scholarship is for Latinos, NOT Muslims, too bad...

“Ruiz told her Muslims are not eligible for the scholarship since it was for Hispanics only.”

She also falsified a letter of recommendation.

“Several months later, Elusta received an email accusing her of falsifying a letter of recommendation she sent to the School of Nursing at UIC, where she had hoped to attend after earning her undergraduate degree.

“Plaintiff never wrote this letter of recommendation; and she does know the alleged author, Linda Hull, who allegedly had plaintiff as a student in a microbiology class. Plaintiff had obtained the required letter of recommendation from one of her professors,” Elusta’s complaint states. “

“As I was reading the article...”

Can’t. Too busy posting crap about the excerpt.

Seriously though, thanks for the added information. Might have to actually read it then to see why Mr. Gonzalez didn’t just say that. And perhaps he did, and she’s lying about everything.

That part about the letter of recommendation was confusing. Almost made it sound like the girl did not send it, that it was sent by a professor that she didn’t know?

And the girl said her mother is Hispanic, so obviously she has Hispanic blood and heritage. Although the club may have rules that both parents are, etc.

Hello. Muslim is a religion. Hispanic is (supposedly) an ethnicity, and it certainly isn't a religion. So it is entirely likely that Miss Elusta is both Hispanic and Muslim.

Falsifying a letter or recommendation sounds like it is a very good reason to deny a scholarship. But then why say it was about the drinks or religion? This guy Michael Gonzalez may be a total cad. Anyway, this article is poorly written, which makes it hard to tell what is going on.
