Litigation on Racist Scholarships
Separate But Equal @UWMadison. Today we sued the University over 20 race-based scholarships. But UW claims this is no discrimination – they say the scholarships are just “separate but equal.” This is an outrageous betrayal of the Constitution’s demand of total racial equality. will-law.org/wp-content/upl…
The lawsuit argues race-based scholarships and grants at Wisconsin’s flagship public university are discriminatory and violate the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution’s Fourteenth Amendment.
The institute is representing two plaintiffs. One is an association of Wisconsin taxpayers called Citizens Defending Liberty. The other is Young America’s Foundation, a national conservative student organization led by former Republican Gov. Scott Walker with a chapter at UW-Madison.
