A federal civil rights complaint against the University of South Carolina alleges discrimination based on the race in official university scholarships.
The Protection Equal Project (EPP) filed the Thorsday Morning complaint with the civil rights office of the United States Department of Education, claiming that the scholarships reserved for minorities or tested preferential on the basis of the breed violate the law.
“That Racialy discriminatory scholarships exist in a great public university in a deeply ‘red’ state is shocking and reflections how the critical theory of careers and their branches such as diversity, equity and inclusion, are deeply”, Willam embedded William “William”, “William”, “William”, “William,” William ” “. Equalprotect.org, he told Breitbart News.” It’s time for higher education everywhere to concentrate on the inherent dignity of each student instead of classifying students based on identity slurry. “
Five scholarships offered by the University “violate title VI of the Civil Rights Law of 1964 (‘Title VI’) and its implementation regulations when discriminating against those based on its race, color and/or national origin,” says the demand for EPP. “Because USC is a public university, these discriminatory scholarships also violate the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution.”
The requirements for these scholarships include being a “underlined minority”, “minority student” and “American or international minority.”
“Create educational opportunities based on race, color or national origin violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Law, as well as the South Carolina Law,” Jacobson said. “These breed -based scholarships also violate the USC non -discrimination policies. We are asking the USC to live up to the law and its own rules, and eliminate the barriers of discriminatory eligibility that it has erected.”
OCR complaint – South Carolina University
A University spokesman did not respond to a request for comments.
The presentation of the lawsuit coincides with a heated debate in the state of South Carolina on the property of Dei in higher education and a bill that has proposed the prohibition of practice. However, the largest public university in South Carolina continues the discriminatory and illegal policies, ALEGA EPP.
The reasons do not justify unconstitutional discrimination, argue the demand.
“Racial and ethnic discrimination is incorrect and illegal, regardless of what race or ethnicity, whether objective or benefits. All applicants have the right to equal treatment without taking into account, or national origin,” Jacobson said. “The Equal Protection project calls the USC senior administration to ensure that non -discrimination standards are maintained through the institution.”
“The USC should know better than executing scholarships that exclude students depending on the national race, color or origin,” he continued. “Where were the administrators and staff whose work is supposedly dedicated to prevention discrimination? Why was there no intervention to maintain legal access equal to education?”
The demand also coincides with a broader discussion of discrimination based on breed on university campuses.
In February, the Department of Education opened research in 45 universities on alleged preferences and policies based on the race, said Katherine Hamilton of Breitbart News.
The Guidance issued by the Department in Conjunction with those research “Reiterates and Makes Crystal Clear What Has Always The Law, that ” “” “” Been Been, Been, ‘”” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “has been” “” “”, “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “soutaal,” “” “” “” soutaal “. Inclusion ‘, or something else, what matters is that no measure of discrimination based on breed, color or national origin is allowed. “
Jacobson added:
The OCR civil rights guide also confirms what has been clear that the failures of equal protection and civil decisions of the Supreme Court in students in the case of fair admission extend beyond the limited context of university action. Sffa’s lesson is that diversity is not a sufficiently convincing state interest to justify racial discrimination. In its nucleus, SFFA is an equal protection clause and a failure of the Civil Rights Law, and legal holdings are extended wherever these legal protections arrive, including scholarships and other educational opportunities.
EPP, a non-profit ship to guarantee equal protection under law and non-discrimination by the government, has become a leader in the struggle for equity and the protection of key constitutional rights not only in the University of the Nation, but also in K-12 schools.
“In EPP we have presented almost 100 cases that challenge more than 300 scholarships and discriminatory programs,” he said. “In no case we are are aware of a school claiming it was free to discrimination on the base of racing, color, or National Origin, so why does it Keep Happening? Unfortunately that’s and and that’s and and that’s and and that’s and and that’s and? And that is and that is and that is and sex “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “” “
