Univ of OK accused of giving more financial aid to Black students

Students at the University of Oklahoma filed a class action lawsuit Wednesday alleging the school violated their equal protection clause rights by awarding students financial aid on the basis of race.
Plaintiffs Brayden Johnson, Logan Rhines and Kayla Savage – all undergraduate students – claimed in a lawsuit that the university "places a high value on racial diversity," particularly Black students, through various "race conscious" programs on campus that begin before enrollment and continue through graduation.
Black students receive more financial grants compared to other racial groups, based on the university's published enrollment data it reported to the Department of Education from 2009 to 2022, "even when controlling to the extent possible for factors such as family income," the lawsuit alleged.
Savage, who is a senior at the university, alleged in the lawsuit that a university official told her "that financial aid was generally not available to students like her," but would have been if she were Black.
In an effort to obscure the extent to which it has engaged in race-based decision making, the University of Oklahoma has recently deleted many webpages with information about its diversity and race-based programs. It is therefore difficult to determine the full extent of the University’s race-based programs," the lawsuit alleges.

It is happening at any place with city, state or federal employees.
