A George Floyd scholarship made available only to black students is in violation of the Civil Rights Act, according to a federal complaint.
North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, established the scholarship in 2020 and claims to "impact the learning environment in a positive manner" by simply increasing the number of black students through the program.
The scholarship page also remarked that the act of "diversifying" its learning environment is key to becoming a university that "looks and acts like Heaven."
Under the criteria section, the school noted that applicants must be "a student who is Black or African American, that is, a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa."
