The College Fix reports:
‘We accept virtually all students of color,’ Grand Valley State director saysGrand Valley State University’s Honors College privileges racial minorities for scholarships and admissions, according to emails obtained by The College Fix.The favoritism has been going on for years, possibly decades, based on the comments made by the director of the Frederick Meijer Honors College.“We accept virtually all students of color, except in cases in which the student’s writing is such that we’re convinced they would struggle far too much in our first-year sequences,” Professor Roger Gilles wrote in an email to colleagues.The April 4, 2022 email goes into further detail about how the university works together to privilege non-white students.“This year, in fact, we accepted a ‘Signature Saturday’ student with a high GPA but an SAT score of 880..!” Gilles, the director of the honors college, wrote to several other administrators in the program. “We are open to changing the profile of the typical Honors student.”Signature Saturday is an open house event for the honors college. An SAT score of 880 would place an incoming freshman in fall 2022 below the 25th percentile, according to public data. This accepted student would be just one of 51 students with an SAT score below 900 in the class of fall 2022 at the university…The emails raise legal concerns according to several experts who spoke to The College Fix. In addition to the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, Michigan also has banned affirmative action in education since it passed Prop 2 in 2006.“Grand Valley State University already is under federal investigation resulting from a civil rights complaint filed by the Equal Protection Project regarding 11 discriminatory scholarships,” the Legal Insurrection Foundation told The Fix via email. The EPP is a project of the foundation.“If there is additional evidence that the discrimination was more widespread than is covered in our complaint, it is important that the Department of Justice join the Department of Education in investigating GVSU,” the legal group stated. “It is no defense that any such discrimination took place prior to the [Students for Fair Admissions Supreme Court] decision, as racial discrimination in education was unlawful prior to SFFA.”
