The scholarship is named in honor of Reginaldo “Reggie” Howard, Duke’s first Black student government president who died in an automobile accident during his sophomore year in 1976.
Duke is discontinuing its Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholarship Program, a program for “top applicants of African descent,” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision that ended race-based affirmative action in college admissions.
Are they adding another general applicant scholarship in its place? Are they removing a general applicant scholarship to even the field?
It looks like they are shifting the funds into a leadership program. I’m not exactly sure what that means
It means money into spoiled white boys hands only.
