|HHT ~~ MKKk^LWEm —™ 1 y^tVS The Daily Collegian • February 11, 1992 Report attacks ban on race-based scholarships Washington (CPS)—A new Department of Educa¬ tion policy that bars universi¬ ties from awarding scholar¬ ships based solely on race has been attacked as "legally insupportable'' by a House panel. "The administration has reversed decades of civil rights progress by opposing any attempts to correct past and present injustices suffered by minority stu¬ dents," said Rep. Ted Weiss (D-N.Y.), chairman of the Human Resources and Intergovernmental Relations Subcommittee that issued the report In announcing the tan on race-specific scholarships in December, Education, j Secretary Lamar Alexander emphasized that no student who has a scholarship,will „ lose it because of the n^w policy. He also noted that scholarships can continue to be used by colleges to attract students if the scholarships are based oh a number of factors, such as economic background/ geographic location and race. The primary result of the move will stop predomi¬ nantly white colleges from offering scholarships based solely on race to encourage enrollment of minorities. Race can still be considered in a scholarship, as long as it is "one factor among sev¬ eral." About 2 million students receive minority scholarshi ps, but only 45,000 have race-specific scholar¬ ships. A review of race-specific scholarships was undertaken by the Education Depart¬ ment after a department official warned Fiesta Bowl officials about offering $100,000 in minority scholar¬ ships to Louisiana and Alabama universities if their football teams would play the game. The House report, "The Fiesta Bowl Fiasco: Depart¬ ment of Education's Attempt tb Ban Minority Scholar¬ ships," recommends that the department continue to uphold the legality of race- specific scholarships as an affirmative action tool. It also suggests that Alexander and other administrators develop initiatives to strengthen enforcement of civil rights laws. The report claims that r^ce-specific scholarships are backed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Supreme Court and the Department of Education's own regulations. I One unclear area of the new policy regards academic awards exclusively* for minority students. For example, about 260 black \ students receive $1 million j from 50 colleges under the j Collegian C National Merit Scholar¬ ships for Outstanding Negro Students, a program of the National Merit Scholarship Corp] of Evans ton, 111. The; aca¬ demic merit gran's, which have been awarded since 1964, are specifically for black students, j The new policy appears to say that a coflefce can't use its own funds for race- exclusive scholarships, but may accept private dona¬ tions for minori ty -specific . grants. According to the Department of Education's public relations office, if a private donation comes in for a minority-specifie scholar¬ ship, the university cannot contribute any funds to that amount There also remains some question about whether colleges can solicit such outside gifts for'minority students.

Report attacks ban on race-based scholarships
Washington (CPS)—A
new Department of Educa¬
tion policy that bars universi¬
ties from awarding scholar¬
ships based solely on race
has been attacked as "legally
insupportable'' by a House
panel.
"The administration has
reversed decades of civil
rights progress by opposing
any attempts to correct past
and present injustices
suffered by minority stu¬
dents," said Rep. Ted Weiss
(D-N.Y.), chairman of the
Human Resources and
Intergovernmental Relations
Subcommittee that issued the
report
In announcing the tan on
race-specific scholarships in
December, Education, j
Secretary Lamar Alexander
emphasized that no student
who has a scholarship,will „
lose it because of the n^w
policy. He also noted that
scholarships can continue to
be used by colleges to attract
students if the scholarships
are based oh a number of
factors, such as economic
background/ geographic
location and race.
The primary result of the
move will stop predomi¬
nantly white colleges from
offering scholarships based
solely on race to encourage
enrollment of minorities.
Race can still be considered
in a scholarship, as long as it
is "one factor among sev¬
eral." About 2 million
students receive minority
scholarshi ps, but only 45,000
have race-specific scholar¬
ships.
A review of race-specific
scholarships was undertaken
by the Education Depart¬
ment after a department
official warned Fiesta Bowl
officials about offering
$100,000 in minority scholar¬
ships to Louisiana and

department continue to
uphold the legality of race-
specific scholarships as an
