As the university defends its affirmative action program before the Supreme Court, it is not shying away from discriminatory programs
Ever since it was dragged before the Supreme Court over its affirmative action policies, Harvard University has insisted that it does not discriminate based on race. But the school appears to be running an internship that prohibits whites from applying.
McLean Hospital, the largest psychiatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, hosts a paid research program for "Black, Indigenous, and underrepresented people of color," according to the hospital’s website. The 10-week internship offers participants a $7,000 stipend and places them in prestigious labs.
The internship may ramp up legal scrutiny on America’s oldest Ivy, which, alongside the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, is battling a high-profile lawsuit from Students for Fair Admissions, a nonprofit opposed to affirmative action.
That scrutiny hasn’t stopped either school from promoting discriminatory programs: UNC-Chapel Hill has at least five scholarships, fellowships, and other initiatives that are available only to minorities; a sixth initiative, exclusively for "BIPOC" students, was made available to all races following a discrimination complaint.
