The program is described as an \u201cintensive 10 week summer program in which undergraduate students of color work full-time with a faculty mentor on a research project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Participants are required to identify as a student of color or Native American, and the program has been accused of violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The complaint calls for fines, administrative proceedings, and judicial proceedings against the university.<\/p>\n<h3>Discrimination is Illegal Regardless of Race<\/h3>\n<p>The complaint argues that racial discrimination by a public institution is illegal regardless of which race suffers. Discrimination against white applicants is just as unlawful as discrimination against black or other non-white applicants. Similar complaints have been filed against universities in recent years over programs that discriminate based on race and sex.<\/p>\n<h3>Segregated Spaces on Campus<\/h3>\n<p>Other universities have implemented segregated spaces on campus in recent years. New York University introduced \u201cthemed engagement communities\u201d to provide housing for students identifying with certain minority groups, the University of Pennsylvania created a separate \u201cpermanent shared space\u201d for black student-athletes, and Stanford University launched a physics class specifically for minority students who do not \u201chave the same level of preparation from high school as their majority peers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Supreme Court to Release Opinion on Affirmative Action<\/h3>\n<p>The civil rights complaint comes as the Supreme Court is expected to release an opinion on affirmative action in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-disturbing-reports-of-college-professors-selling-american-secrets-to-china\/\" title=\"5 Disturbing Reports Of College Professors Selling American Secrets To China\">higher education system<\/a>.
