Justice Dept Probes William & Mary Diversity Programs | Virginia Beach News

from Virginia Beach News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

The Justice Department is launching a major probe into William & Mary over alleged race-based scholarship programs, challenging whether they violate Title VI’s ban on racial discrimination. Targeting initiatives like the W&M Scholars program, a Hispanic/Latina women fellowship, and the Holmes Scholars mentorship, officials argue these preferences contradict the color-blind Constitution. The school insists it follows all laws and is reviewing the matter without comment. The investigation also scrutinizes law school programs favoring HBCU grads, raising serious questions about fairness and compliance.
