A legal advocacy group filed a complaint against Fordham University, alleging discrimination in scholarships favoring black and Latino students, violating civil rights law. Examples include the 'Diversity Fund' and 'Fordham Scholarship' exclusively for certain ethnicities.
The group highlighted how Fordham's scholarship programs exhibited different standards based on race and ethnicity, breaching Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. They emphasized that such preference programs are facing legal challenges following a Supreme Court ruling on unconstitutional race-based criteria in college admissions.
William A. Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project, criticized Fordham's programs for openly discriminating based on race and ethnicity, stating it is both wrongful and unlawful. He referred to the Supreme Court's stance following the 2023 decision, emphasizing the need to eliminate racial discrimination entirely.
