'The University of Missouri’s decision to end scholarships that discriminate on the basis of race has left some donors feeling “betrayed.”
"The university’s four campuses have been working with donors to revise scholarships that exclude white students, and in some cases Latinos, Asians, and Native Americans, to ensure they comply with federal law."
This has been a source of frustration for me since I graduated high school and discovered that because I was white and poor, I was ineligible for some scholarships. Next thing you know, universities may start admissions based on merit not race.
As some comments observed, if you want to make sure your money goes to a black student, give the money directly, and forgo the income tax deduction for your charitable contribution. And more of the money will end up with the student.
It's almost as if the black students would not be able to compete academically with the white students.....
