Court rules out black scholarships in Maryland program
A federal appeals court struck down the Banneker scholarship program at the University of Maryland as not narrowly tailored to remedy past discrimination. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered reconsideration for Daniel Podberesky, a nonblack applicant who met academic requirements but was rejected. The ruling, while focused on this case, sparks broader debate over race based aid and campus diversity policies at public universities.
