The prestigious University of Southern California and Loyola Marymount University are both the subject of a civil rights investigation over a college-access program that’s only available to Hispanic students, the California Post can reveal. A letter from the Office of Civil Rights to William Jacobson, president of the anti-racism Equal Protection Project, on August 13th confirmed both schools are being investigated for discriminating against students on the basis of ”national origin”, allowing the program to exclude students who do not identify as Hispanic. The letter was in response to a June 29 complaint filed by Jacobson organization alleging that USC and LMU may have violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
