DOJ Probes William & Mary Scholarships | Richmond News

The Justice Department is launching a major probe into William & Mary’s scholarship programs, alleging they violate federal civil rights laws by favoring applicants based on race or ethnicity. Targeting initiatives like the W&M Scholars program, the Martha L. Muguira Fellowship, and law school scholarships for HBCU grads, the DOJ claims such “race-based preferences” contravene Title VI and a color-blind Constitution. This follows prior investigations at UVA and George Mason. William & Mary insists it’s committed to compliance and non-discrimination, while refusing to comment further on the ongoing legal review.
