SUNY Buffalo Law School will “no longer grant a preference based on race or color” after Equal Protection Project civil rights complaint
Another EPP win: “On November 21, 2023, the University informed OCR that the University had revised the Program’s eligibility criteria so that they no longer grant a preference based on race or color and that the University had revised its webpages about the Program to reflect the new race-neutral eligibility criteria.”
The Equal Protection Project (EPP) (EqualProtect.org) of the Legal Insurrection Foundation has challenged numerous racially discriminatory programs done in the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
This discrimination comes in various ways, but the overarching theme is to exclude or diminish some people and promote others, based on race, color, or ethnicity. EPP now has filed over 20 civil rights complaints and other actions, leading numerous institutions to alter or drop their discriminatory practices.
On June 29, 2023, just before the Supreme Court ruled in the Harvard case, we reported how SUNY Buffalo Law School Program Racial Preference For “Students of Color” Challenged By Equal Protection Project:
Perhaps this morning, or tomorrow morning at the latest, the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the use of “race-conscious” admissions to Harvard and UNC. Both schools argue that race can be a consideration as part of a “holistic” view of a student.
Neither Harvard nor UNC were as brazen in their racial discrimination as is the State University at Buffalo School of Law, which has a program for future law students that explicitly says preference is given to “students of color.” While white students are not absolutely excluded, non-whites are given preference and white students need to show a plus factor, such as being “first generation” (to attend college or law school, not clear).
The Complaint laid out the racial discrimination both factually and legally in great detail.
The NY Post covered the story, and I also appeared on Fox and Friends:
We recently received a letter from the Department of Education, Office for Civil Rights, that is was closing the case because SUNY Buffalo Law School had dropped the racially discriminatory eligibility requirements (emphasis added):
In support of your allegation, you provided several links to the University’s webpages for the Program, which indicated that preference would be given to students of color. On November 21, 2023, the University informed OCR that the University had revised the Program’s eligibility criteria so that they no longer grant a preference based on race or color and that the University had revised its webpages about the Program to reflect the new race-neutral eligibility criteria. OCR confirmed these representations by reviewing the University’s webpages about the Program. OCR determined that the University modified the Program’s About the Program webpage to state that the Program is open to “academically promising college students who have completed their freshman or sophomore year, but who will not begin their junior year before the end of the program.” The Program’s Frequently Asked Questions webpage now states that students are eligible for the Program if they are a historically underrepresented student or a student who is in the first generation of their family to attend college; have completed their first year (freshman) prior to the commencement of the Program; have an interest in law; and have a record of achievement. The Program’s Apply Now webpage notes that as a regional program, primary consideration will be given to western and central New York residents as well as students in northeastern Pennsylvania and eastern New York.
Under Section 110(d) of OCR’s CPM, OCR will dismiss an allegation where OCR obtains credible information indicating that the allegation raised by the complainant has been resolved, and there is no systemic allegation. Based on the evidence discussed above, OCR determined that the allegation raised in your complaint is resolved….

Congrats! Good work.
In other news, the anti-woke movement continues to gain momentum:
“University of Utah president discontinues diversity statements, says they will no longer be used in hiring”
Congratulations. One school at at time.
Nicely done!
Well, what do you know. The way to stop discriminating is to stop discriminating. Whoda thunk it?
SUNY will halt all racist policies and, instead, concentrate on science-based melanin levels to assess applicants and to help in assigning grades for students. SUNY has determined that melanin is a preferred chemical and it wants to maximize melanin levels among the student, faculty, and administration. This is a purely chemical analysis and, therefore, is unbiased and objective.
Of course, SUNY will still adhere to the idea that anyone can be a woman for any amount of time just by saying so and clicking their heels three times. The number “three” will also be open to the interpretation of the subject.
“The American people have always been anxious to know what they shall do with us. Gen. Banks was distressed with solicitude as to what he should do with the Negro. Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, “What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also.”

Society have allowed blacks to become entitled, systematically encouraged their worst traits. Now it is time for tough love. There are too many like JR, mad that IQ data exists.
And this will last just long enough for them to find a way to work around it.
So, MAYBE 20 minutes.
The very fact the Ivory Towers have to be threatened with legal action to stop discriminating on the basis of one’s skin color shows just how far we’ve regressed as a nation.
(And how absolutely disgusting DEI and its supporters are…)
Chalk up another win for Professor Jacobson and his team — congratulations to all of you for your great work in standing up to brazenly unconstitutional and inequitable racism.
A big thumbs up to another scalp for the EqualProtect.org belt!
I fully expect the DOJ to criminally prosecute those admins who aggressively & egregiously denied the plain, enumerated civil rights of citizens under Title VI Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1964…. Bwhahahaha. /sarcasm/
Of course not. We’re not a serious country, and merely want to repeatedly politically m*st*rbate before the courts because there’s no consequences for these marxist meat puppets NOT to aggressively & egregiously deny the plain, enumerated civil rights of citizens.
Rant over. Congrats again to EqualProtect.org.
Who actually believes this? Nobody, I hope. They will start using other things that they believe are reliable proxies for race (and sex). The only way it isn’t obvious that is what they’re doing is if the racial demographics of their incoming classes materially changes. I expect it will not.
Don’t bet on it. There are many paths to woke-ville. Just because one path is blocked doesn’t mean they can’t get there another way.
Just because they say they won’t discriminate based on race doesn’t mean they actually won’t discriminate based on race. Words are cheap.
But…To be safe…Don’t tell them you’re Jewish….Or Christian….Or Republican….
