claims the action by the State University of New York at Albany to support a program excluding non-white students engages in racial discrimination, thus violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment’s equal-protection clause.
In April, the Equal Protection Project sent a “cease and desist” letter to SUNY Albany to end its sponsorship of the “racially exclusionary program”, known as the Touhey Library Equity Fellowship.“OCR should investigate this blatantly discriminatory program and the circumstances under which the creation and promotion of it was approved, take all appropriate action to end such discriminatory practices and impose remedial relief.
The library deactivated the web page after EPP issued its cease-and-desist request, though the group previously took a screenshot of it as evidence.“SUNY Albany has an expansive bureaucracy supposedly devoted to fighting discrimination, yet no one thought to ask why the university was creating and promoting a racially-exclusionary program?” said William Jacobson, founder of EqualProtect.org, to The Post.
“This attempt to offload the discrimination to an outside entity rings hollow since SUNY Albany has been involved every step of the way.”
