“A Hispanics-only program hosted at the University of Southern California and Loyola Marymount University has drawn a federal civil rights complaint.”
According to a report from The College Fix, a complaint has been filed with the Education Department for Civil Rights after Los Angeles universities promoted a scholarship program exclusively for Hispanics.
The complaint against this program was naturally due to the fact that “it is expressly limited to students who identify as being of Hispanic heritage.”
It should go without saying that this violates civil rights laws. If there must be special civil rights laws, how would this not be a violation of them?
This program, by definition, would amount to segregation based on race, something which would never be tolerated if done for White students.
“USC and LMU participation in the YLI program violates Title VI by discriminating on the basis of national origin. Moreover, this participation violates California’s own discrimination statutes and the nondiscrimination policies,” states the complaint, lodged June 29.”
“William Jacobson, president of the Equal Protection Project, told the New York Post that it’s “open discrimination, they don’t try to hide it.”
