The University of Virginia appears to have changed its website description of the BIPOC Alumni-Student Mentoring Program after the Equal Protection Project filed a civil rights complaint.

The complaint noted that the program’s goal is to "improve BIPOC undergraduates’ program experiences, career opportunities, and retention through pairing these learners with alumni mentors," but the EPP feels such initiatives should benefit all students.
"The BIPOC Mentoring Program violates Title VI because it conditions eligibility for participation on a student’s race, ethnicity and skin color. And, because UVA is a public university, its creation, sponsorship, promotion and hosting of this discriminatory program also violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment," the complaint, which has been obtained by Fox News Digital, stated.
