Fox News
A complaint filed by a civil rights organization on Thursday alleges that a Michigan university is discriminating on the basis of sex and race.
"At EqualProtect.org we have challenged discriminatory programs and scholarships at over 60 colleges and universities, but never have we seen such a large number at any single institution." Rachel del Guidice is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to rachel.delguidice@fox.com.
The scholarships that the Equal Protection Project alleges are discriminatory are the Endurance Scholarship, which requires the applicant to "self-identify as an African American who is a U.S. citizen," and the Trans-Racial Adoptee Scholarship, which requires applicant to be "trans-racially adopted," and the Carol L. Faber Math Scholarship, which requires that "first preference is for a female student." The scholarship amounts are $3,000, $3,500, and $3,100 respectively.
