BetaONE will rise again! - Justice Dept. May Sue Over Scholarships

It's about time something is being said about this. How can we all be treated equal if scholarships like this continue to be allowed. Nothing is fair in life and I doubt this will bring anything but attention to the topic of discrimination. Wow, worth a watch! I don't have much faith in Illinois leadership. :confused:

Quote:

CARBONDALE, Ill. - Federal prosecutors are threatening to sue Southern Illinois University over three small graduate school scholarship programs aimed at women and minorities, saying they were discriminatory.

SIU "has engaged in a pattern or practice of intentional discrimination against whites, non-preferred minorities and males," the Justice Department said in a letter. A copy of the letter was obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
