SUNY Albany faces federal race-discrimination complaint over black-only internships

A self-described anti-racism group has filed a federal civil-rights complaint against SUNY Albany over the taxpayer-funded school’s controversial library internship program that’s available only to black students.

The Equal Protection Project claims the action by the State University of New York at Albany to support a program excluding white students engages in racial discrimination, thus violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment’s equal-protection clause.

“Racial discrimination by a public institution is illegal regardless of which race suffers – discrimination against white applicants is just as unlawful as discrimination against black or other non-white applicants,” says the EPP complaint filed with the federal Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights and obtained by The Post.

The Post first reported on the controversy in April, when EPP sent a “cease and desist” letter to SUNY Albany, a.k.a. the University at Albany or UAlbany, to end its sponsorship of the “racially exclusionary program”, known as the Touhey Library Equity Fellowship.

EPP opposes racial preference policies in academia.

Anti-reverse-racism people need to push back against discrimination like this three ways: hard; fast; continuously. One or two losses will not get the anti-white (and Asian) racists to desist.
