The program is hosted by nine New York institutes of higher education: Ithaca College, Medgar Evers College, Rochester Institute of Technology, Siena College, St. John\u2019s University, SUNY New Paltz, SUNY Oswego, the University at Buffalo, and Westchester Community College.<\/p>\n<p>The program includes \u201cvirtual sessions about forensic accounting, interviewing skills, public speaking, networking, and an \u2018accounting profession overview\u2019 featuring a panel discussion with experts in the profession,\u201d Zeisloft reported.<\/p>\n<p>The online application for the program does not include an option for white students to apply, including forms for only Hispanic, Black, Asian, and Native American students.<\/p>\n<p>Campus reform reached out to SUNY Oswego and heard back from Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Scott Furlong, who told the outlet that \u201cthe New York State Society of Certified Public Accountants sets the policy to provide the Career Opportunities in the Accounting Profession (COAP) program exclusively to high school students of color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSUNY Oswego participates in supporting the program and sees this as a beneficial service to the profession, but we strongly believe that all disadvantaged students would benefit from the COAP program,\u201d Furlong added. \u201cWhile we do not participate in recruiting the student participants in COAP or in the setting of policy for student membership, SUNY Oswego would prefer a more inclusive perspective regarding membership in COAP and the NYSSCPA policy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That inclusive perspective, Furlong added, would \u201calign with SUNY Oswego\u2019s ethos that is rooted in diversity of thought and people, equitable practices and policies, and inclusive experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furlong told the outlet that the issue \u201cmerits much future discussion for the purposes of having SUNY Oswego reassess our involvement and reconsider our sponsorship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Civil rights attorney Hans Bader said the program, hosted by public institutions that receive federal funding, could violate the Constitution and Title VI of the Civil Right Act. Courts have found that scholarships provided only to non-white students are illegal and unconstitutional. While this is not a scholarship, the fact that it is hosted by institutes of higher education could bring the same issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the New York program were challenged, I would expect that the New York regional office would find it illegal under Title VI, unless there is meddling by political appointees in Washington to prevent such a ruling from being issued,\u201d Bader said. \u201cA complete bar against whites is not valid under a \u2018diversity\u2019 rationale, although considering race as one of many factors might well be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
