Country Music Association fellowship excludes white students: federal complaint

Three universities are under scrutiny for their “Diversity and Inclusion Fellowship” with the Country Music Association due to its exclusion of white applicants.

The fellowship at the University of Tennessee, University of Alabama and Belmont University drew a federal racial discrimination complaint under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

University of Michigan-Flint professor emeritus Mark Perry filed the complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights and shared a copy with The College Fix.
