The “Black Scholars Matter” program at California State University Northridge violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 according to a new federal complaint shared with The College Fix.
Civil rights activist Mark Perry filed a complaint against the program, which he called a “racially exclusionary program that illegally excludes and discriminates against non-Black students.”
He cited evidence found on the program’s website, including the program’s description, comments from the founder, and promotional videos featuring exclusively black students.
“CSUN offers, operates, administers, and promotes the racially discriminatory program Black Scholars Matter,” Perry, a senior fellow with Do No Harm, wrote in the complaint filed with the Office for Civil Rights at the Department of Education. “As the program name indicates, it serves as a targeted program for Black students/scholars.”
