The Equal Protection Project of the Legal Insurrection Foundation filed the complaint against the University of Minnesota, calling for the program to be open to students of all races and ethnicities.<\/p>\n<h3>Discrimination Has No Place in Education<\/h3>\n<p>William Jacobson, president of the Equal Protection Project, condemned the university&#8217;s actions, stating that &#8220;there is no good form of racial discrimination.&#8221; The program, which pays students $6,000 for a 10-week research project, requires applicants to provide demographic information, effectively excluding white students from participating.<\/p>\n<h3>Fighting Against Racism in Education<\/h3>\n<p>Jacobson founded the Equal Protection Project to oppose all forms of racial discrimination, stating that &#8220;racism is racism, regardless of who is excluded.&#8221; He called on the US Department of Education to investigate the university&#8217;s practices and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-declares-transgender-students-are-protected-under-title-ix\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Declares Transgender Students Are Protected Under Title IX\">withhold federal funding<\/a> if necessary.<\/p>\n<h3>Ending Segregationist Practices<\/h3>\n<p>The complaint argues that the university&#8217;s actions violate federal, state, and local laws, and must be investigated with the possibility of fines, withholding of federal funding, or even prosecution. Jacobson emphasized that &#8220;federal funding should not be used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/civil-rights-complaint-filed-after-university-restricts-summer-program-to-non-white-applicants\/\" title=\"University faces civil rights complaint for limiting summer program to non-white applicants.\">promote educational opportunities restricted<\/a> by skin color.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Equality for All Students<\/h3>\n<p>The university&#8217;s actions are a step backward in the fight for equality and justice.
