The George Floyd Memorial Scholarship offered at North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is being accused of violating the Civil Rights Act, according to a federal complaint.
The Legal Insurrection Foundation filed the legal complaint Monday with the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights. The conservative nonprofit says its mission is devoted to advancing free expression and academic freedom on campuses.

The foundation claims the George Floyd Memorial Scholarship is violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which "prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal financial assistance."
To be eligible for the scholarship in question, the applicant must "be a student who is Black or African American, that is, a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa," according to the university.
Students who do not meet the prerequisite racial category are automatically ineligible for the scholarship.
"Discrimination against white applicants is just as unlawful as discrimination against black or other non-white applicants," complaint writers, civil rights attorney Ameer Benno and Cornell University law professor William Jacobson, said.

"Regardless of NCU's reasons for sponsoring and promoting the GFMS [scholarship], it is violating Title VI by doing so."

Less than two weeks after Dr. Scott Hagan, President of North Central University, challenged "every university president in the United States to establish your own George Floyd Memorial Scholarship Fund," more than a dozen colleges and universities have followed North Central’s lead and started scholarships in memory of Floyd, the man whose death at the hands of Minneapolis police has led to massive national protests and worldwide demonstrations.

Dr. Hagan, announced his institution was establishing a George Floyd Memorial Scholarship at the beginning of the memorial service for Mr. Floyd, hosted by North Central, a small Christian university in downtown Minneapolis. He then urged college presidents across the nation to do the same.

So far, more than a dozen other universities have committed to creating their own George Floyd Memorial Scholarships, and several others are exploring the idea. In many cases, the first funds for the scholarship were donated by the president of the university.

white people whining about not getting something they dont even want. asians not complaining about not being eligible for the george floyd scholarship because they dont want it. white people dont want it either but they will use this opportunity to undermine black people.

I’m confused title six specifically points towards federal aid…. That does not bar any university from coming up with their own scholarship program from donors. A lot of large state schools have scholarship program specifically for students of a certain ethnicity
