University slapped with civil rights lawsuit over racially 'discriminatory' scholarships
Fox News
A university in western Kentucky is the subject of a federal civil rights complaint alleging that two of the school's scholarships discriminate on the basis of race.
In its complaint, the EPP says that two WKU scholarships – the WKU Athletics Minority Fellowship (AMF) and the WKU Distinguished Minority Fellowship (DMF) – "are only available to non-white students."

The EPP says WKU’s promotion of these scholarships violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as well as Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
The non-profit points to the recent Supreme Court ruling in Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harv. Coll., which determined that "eliminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it."
