'We're going to seek to make URI a test case for the Trump administration'
Fifty-One Discriminatory Scholarships At University of Rhode Island Challenged By Equal Protection Project ) of the Legal Insurrection Foundation has challenged numerous discriminatory programs done in the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. In all we have filed over 50 complaints and legal actions since launch in February 2023, with approximately half the schools withdrawing or modifying the discriminatory programs after our filing. with the Office for Civil Rights of the U.S.
Moreover, as set forth below, many of the scholarships state that URI’s Enrollment Services – a department of URI that assists students with their enrollment needs, “from understanding financial aid and registering for courses to paying bill and getting a transcript”5 – selects the award recipients along with other URI staff members or faculty. URI thus is involved not only in promotion and administration of the scholarships, it selects the recipients.
We then went through each of the 52 scholarships quoting URI’s own website descriptions, with all pages linked and archived.
“The discrimination in scholarships at URI is shocking in its breadth, far exceeding any other university we have seen at the Equal Protection Project,” the organization’s founder, William A. Jacobson, told The Daily Wire. “URI does not even try to hide the discriminatory barriers, they are all detailed on the URI website.
The group then called for an investigation of the scholarships and enforcement by the Department of Education.
