Mizzou donors feel ‘betrayed’ they can’t exclude white students from scholarships

The University of Missouri’s decision to end scholarships that discriminate on the basis of race has left some donors feeling “betrayed.”

The university’s four campuses have been working with donors to revise scholarships that exclude white students, and in some cases Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans, to ensure they comply with federal law.

“Several of the donors in question spoke with Inside Higher Ed, some on the record, some on background for fear of jeopardizing ongoing discussions with the university,” the news outlet reported. “They said the conversations have been fraught, coercive and disappointing.”

“Several said they felt ‘betrayed’ by their erstwhile institutional partners, though many conceded that the university system was in a difficult political and legal position,” Inside Higher Ed reported.
