Tennessee is challenging a federal funding program for Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), claiming it violates anti-discrimination laws. The lawsuit, initiated by Students for Fair Admissions, argues that all public colleges in Tennessee serve Hispanic and low-income students yet do not qualify for HSIs federal grants as their Hispanic enrollment falls below the 25% threshold. This legal action reflects a broader anti-affirmative action movement and could influence the landscape of college admissions and funding for programs that use racial or ethnic criteria.
