“UIUC has achieved diversity but in the worst way. The array of discriminatory scholarships collectively discriminates against almost everyone. Discrimination does not become lawful just because there is a diverse group of victims.'

) of the Legal Insurrection Foundation has challenged numerous racially discriminatory programs done in the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. This discrimination comes in various ways, but the overarching theme is to exclude or diminish some people and promote others, based on race, color, ethnicity, or sex. In all we have filed over thirty complaints and legal actions since launch in February 2023, with over half the schools withdrawing or modifying the discriminatory programs.

Alleging a “systemic non-compliance with federal civil rights law,” the complaint pointed to multiple instances in which scholarships are reserved for specific racial groups or genders, barring students who do not meet those demographic standards from benefiting from the scholarship…. The Doris I. and James L. Willmer Endowed Scholarship has stratified preferences, stating, “Preference first to first-generation female, then to female students, and finally to minority students,” covering both Title IX and Title VI violations, according to the complaint.

“The eligibility requirements for these scholarships are openly discriminatory,” Jacobson also said. “Regardless of the purpose of the discrimination, it is wrong and unlawful.” It’s pervasive. It’s almost everywhere…. hat started on the campuses has migrated off the campuses to private sector, and it’s a real problem and it’s something we can’t keep up with. We’re a small entity. We’ve brought 30 of these and we could probably have brought 300 of them if we had the, the manpower to do that. So it’s a huge problem.
