There’s a new call for the University of Wisconsin to end race-based programs on campus.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty yesterday asked the UW to end its race-based awards and fellowships. Specifically, WILL says the Board of Regents 2024 Diversity Awards are unconstitutional because they leave-out some students who don’t meet the racial criteria. That’s the argument that WILL uses against a handful of UW fellowships, including the BIPOC Fellows Program, which is currently at the center of a federal civil rights complaint. WILL said the UW is not following the ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court to end race-based programs on all college campuses.
