The scholarship is named in honor of Reginaldo “Reggie” Howard, Duke’s first Black student government president who died in an automobile accident during his sophomore year in 1976.
Duke is discontinuing its Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholarship Program, a program for “top applicants of African descent,” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision that ended race-based affirmative action in college admissions.
It was always about taking away opportunities for black people to succeed.
It’s so strange that all these Republican-led bills seem to target women, minorities, and poor people! What a crazy coincidence
Hey now, they also write bills that target white men too. It’s just purely a coincidence that those bills cut taxes.
Well yeah they weren’t really pretending otherwise
They ending legacy admissions too or admitting kids just because their parents donated money?
They (meaning the GOP) wants to make sure the “right” kind of people (meaning white evangelical men with conservative brain washing) are the out people being educated.
Are they adding another general applicant scholarship in its place? Are they removing a general applicant scholarship to even the field?
It looks like they are shifting the funds into a leadership program. I’m not exactly sure what that means
It means money into spoiled white boys hands only.
I’m guessing that’s their nepotism program
This is the first thing I thought, some executive at that college has a pet project they need to fund I bet
