Last Thursday (Feb. 29),\u00a0NBC News<\/a>\u00a0reported that Ohio University put a hold on race-based scholarships. In a statement shared by the institution, the reason pointed to the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision to strike down\u00a0affirmative action<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“As a public institution, we must abide by state and federal laws. Within that context, following the June\u00a0Supreme Court<\/a>\u00a0decision in the Harvard case, we began a process to review selection criteria for admissions and scholarships as well as language in our gift agreements,” it read. “We are temporarily pausing the awarding of impacted scholarships, which represent a small but important subset of our annual awards, as we contemplate any necessary revisions. Scholarships already awarded to current students are not impacted by this review.”<\/p>\n

The statement continued, “This necessary work in no way changes our values as an institution, which include a commitment to fostering an inclusive University community where all students — regardless of\u00a0race<\/a>, background, gender, religion, or disability — are welcome and feel a sense of belonging.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
