Awarding Scholarships on Basis of Race = prima facie Racism.
Time from some class action law suits.
...because removing information from the web-site means the information is gone...
Morons.
That's what we did for the presidency.
Oh Crap. The Hispanic and Black scholarships are EVERYWHERE.
What’s really unusual is the one for a Caucasian.
They only mentioned it to imply that there is some sort of balance, but that’s nonsense. The vast majority of the “underprivileged” scholarships specifically target non-white ethnic or racial groups.
I notice, once again, the only MSM running this story is Fox News.
since these were endowed schollies I didn’t know they weren’t allowed.
Endowed scholarships have been around for over a hundred yers
and notice nearly all ethnic racial groups have had someone endow a scholarship for them so it isn’t like only white people had access to endowed shcollies
If I want to give my money for a scholarship for only strawberry blonde smart women I should be able to
They will now be sued real bad and they will lose!!
Do they really have enough applicants of Armenian, Azerbaijani, Georgian, or Ossetian descent to limit a scholarship to Caucasians?
This university needs to be monitored for racial insensitivity ~ better let Mooch know about this. /s
there have always been scholarships with donor-designated ethnic or religious beneficiary groups.... these have gotten by....been accepted for the most part...because the vast bulk of scholarship money is not so designated
however, sometimes things do operate differently. Some time back (admittedly in the Paleolithic Era) a major university reserved ALL of its scholarship money (at least in one key professional school) to one designated minority race, only. White needn’t apply. When you asked, they merely said it was “by vote of the faculty”
so, these sort of things do need to be watched....
Either racial discrimination is acceptable or it is not, there is no middle-ground where discriminating in favor of your favorite races is right and racial preferences for other races is wrong.
Race-exclusive scholarships are by their very nature racially discriminatory. You can’t be opposed to racism AND in favor of minority-only college scholarships, that’s by definition impossible. If you’re opposed to white scholarships and in favor of black scholarships, then by definition you’re a racist and likely a liar as well.
- Academic achievement
- Community Service
- Leadership potential

My son is from northern Russia. He has been in the United States since a few days after his first birthday and is an American citizen. He is of Scandinavian stock - light blond hair, blue eyes, etc.
But, since he was born in a small village in the foothills of the Ural mountains, the generally recognized boundary between Europe and Asia, I hereby declare that he is an ‘Asian-American’, and you all had BETTER treat him as such...

Guess the United Negro College Fund will have to diversify too, eh?
what state ???
It’s a privilege to pay full rate.
I doubt anyone is really surprised by this
So, their endowed scholarships... aren’t?
