The University of California, Berkeley was hit with a federal civil rights complaint for allegedly engaging in discrimination on the basis of race and nation of origin.

Cornell Law professor William A. Jacobson founded the EPP to ensure fair treatment of all people without regard to race or ethnicity – and he feels Berkeley is being unfair to non-Hispanic students. The complaint, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital, details that the Haas Thrive Fellows program is to "educate, prepare, and motivate Latinx/Hispanic individuals" to apply and succeed at a top business school.
"The Haas Thrive Fellows program openly discriminates on the basis of race and national origin. Haas clearly tells students the program is intended for 'Latinx/Hispanic' students, setting up a barrier that would deter other students from applying. Regardless of the purpose of the discrimination, it is wrong and unlawful," Jacobson told Fox News Digital.
