The University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business recently revised an admissions program aimed at black transfer students following a federal civil rights complaint.
The original program, known as the Marshall Pathways Program, was “the first Undergraduate Admissions initiative designed to support Black and African-American prospective transfer students throughout the application and matriculation processes,” according to the business school.
However, this description has since been removed and replaced with race-neutral language after Professor Mark Perry filed a complaint with the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.
Perry filed the complaint in January of this year.
