Through its George Floyd Memorial Scholarship, the private Christian university in Minneapolis, Minnesota, "engages in invidious discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin," according to the complaint. Kendall Tietz is a Production Assistant with Fox News Digital.
To qualify for the scholarship, students must "be a student who is Black or African American, that is, a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa," according to the information page. The scholarship was created on June 4, 2020, "to invest like never before in a new generation of young black Americans, who are poised and ready to take leadership in our nation," North Central University President Scott Hagan said at the time.
