After suing the University of Minnesota for discrimination against white students during one of the institution’s summer internship programs, an instructor at an Ivy League institution in New York may have prevailed.
This spring, the University of Minnesota promoted its Multicultural Summer Research Opportunity Program to undergraduate “college students of color including Native Americans” with the expectation that those who successfully finish the program may later decide to pursue graduate studies. Qualified candidates for MSROP, which starts on June 5 and lasts through August 11, allegedly have to “identify as being a pupil of Color or a Native American” and give “demographic information” to support that racial identity. Those selected for the program would collaborate with a mentor professor and receive a $6,000 stipend while working on more difficult academic projects. The application period ended in early March and those selected for interviews received word in early April.
William Jacobson, a self-described “conservative” and professor of securities law at Cornell University, learned about the program, however, and shortly after launched a lawsuit against the university for not allowing white students to apply. “We don’t accept the growing tendency, according to Jacobson, where individuals believe that racial discrimination is OK as long as it’s done to white people, Asian people, or others.”
Jacobson probably meant his right-wing nonprofit organization, the Equal Protection Project, when he said: “we.” Jacobson and his colleague Ameer Benno wrote to the Institute for Civil Rights in the U.S. Dept. of Education on behalf of the EPP to inform them about the discriminating program at UMN and request that the OCR take action. The letter noted that “discrimination against white candidates is illegal in the same ways as it is against black people or any other non-white applicants. Racial prejudice can take no shape that is acceptable.”
It said, “OCR had the duty and authority to make UMN stop and to enforce whatever corrective relief that is required because UMN receives federal funding.” Following that, the letter outlines other actions the OCR might take, including “imposing fines” and “referring the case to the Dept. of Justice.”
In regards to the professor makes university pay article: it’s obvious that there is no law and order in America anymore. The left, and those who vote in and support them see to that. It goes along with coke when they in charge instructed the employees to be less white. McDonald’s, making it clear that white candidates will not be considered for upper positions. The equal opportunity employment act no longer applies, and the supreme Court does nothing to fix anything. This is no longer the America that was once the greatest country in the history of the world, and it’s our friends, neighbors, and even family members that don’t get it, who are to blame.
We will always have accusations of racism since it can be used for political and/or monetary gain. Booker T. Washington spoke about this 150 years ago.
Prejudice is prejudice no matter what the race, religion or gender. Don’t give up under pressure.
Yes this is reverse discrimination and should be corrected.
If this kind of crap is allowed what other racist discriminating things are we going to go backwards on, Democrats and anyone who donated to blm and antifa helped in this downward spiraling, When a government allows open discrimination against any skin color or political leanings it has gone against our constitution and bill of rights, they are out to destroy the greatest country that has ever been , we were on the road to racism being a thing of the past but the Democrat’s have gone to great lengths to bring the divide back, and any American that doesn’t see this black, brown, yellow, or white is stupid. Discriminating is just that no matter what color, gender, political leanings, or religion. We the people need to call these communist that have been installed out in their bull crap, take them to court although we have seen the corruption in the double standards in the justice system also. But it is time for all Americans to step up and defend our rights against a corupt government and it’s co conspirators. Stop sending your kids to these racist colleges, and universities. Why are we paying taxes to racist discriminating educational systems. It is our money not the governments maybe we need to stop paying taxes if these installed government don’t listen to their bosses and that is we the people. Not just special interest groups as Democrats like to kiss their butts for more power and control. Someday you that are being catered to will see by your going along with this you are helping in the destruction of a free country and when your of no use to them you will be tossed aside and in the same boat you allowed those others to be tossed into.
the more they allow reverse-racism.. the worse it’s going to get.
There is no reverse racism… only racism.
There’s no such thing as reverse racism, it’s unrelated to which race does it to another. Racism is racism, period.
60 years of handouts, employment set asides and “free” stuff for Blacks have done NOTHING to elevate them from continuing to be the Achilles heel of America. The only thing affirmative action does is place unqualified or totally incompetent tokens in positions they don’t deserve, including the White House, presidential cabinets and the SCOTUS.
Totally agree as I personally saw Educated Black student friends of mine in College chastise Affirmative action Black students who were not qualified to be in college or even try to succeed telling them to get the “F” out as they were a disgrace to their people. The issue with the black culture is not poverty but the fact that in many instances there is no Family unit or Father head to support the children when they are young or no diacipline. God forbid the NAACP address the real issue with the black culture. Why doesn’t the Educated Succesful Black Majority ever speak out. Why do they let the criminal uneducated Minority get all the publicity ! You want to succeed in life. You need to earn your spot. All jobs need to be filled based on Meritocracy. No special handouts based on Race, skin color, culture, sex , etc.
On two sepporate occasions on BUTTFACE I mean facebook, I was told by one idiot in Montana and another here in Washington ” It ain’t racism if it’s aimed at white people ! That’s when I dumped FACEBOOK ! Being surrounded by Libtards feels like swirling down the toilet. What I can’t wrap my head around is all of the incredibly stupid white people that embrace this crap, do they not own a mirror ? or are they self loathing depressed pieces of crap that hate themselves, their families, their own kids, the world? I just don’t get it . . .
The university students that are about 50 year old are very program by the college professors to be follow socialism and many professors were paid by the Chinese Military and and the cold. Trump had 50 from the college deported.
Same type of teaching in public school started about 30 years ago. That’s why my grandkids were in Christian school. That school lost nonprofit by Obama. The whole staff joined a Missionary in Mexico and they opened a school and teach English and Mexican and USA government. Prayers
