Duke University ENDS full-ride scholarship program for select Black students in wake of affirmative action ruling

[powmia]

Great now do the same for Duke basketball and Football. Bet them racist CACS won't do that.

We? It was Asians who got finessed and WE told them what it was going to be

And honestly all the black athletes on Duke should enter the transfer portal asap… It’s that simple that’s how you will hurt dukes pockets when they don’t have the talent to complete anymore

"We" as in Americans. But lets no act like there isn't a growing number of Black people who are anti-AA.

We allowed a man with a history of anti-Black behavior to become president. This didn't come out of no where...Republicans been publicly planning this for decades. Azns been bytching about Black people in college since the 90s.

We collectively said but that's one brand because the majority of America's problems are created by America's actions.

most of the leadership at these schools is conservative. Always has been. The loud activists fooled people into thinking they had power over the institution

They were not "fooled" they accepted the terms until they were given a loophole to end the practice.

Imagine proudly being a black Republican

Thanks meek mill. Thanks Kodak black. Thank you c00n nikkas and bots on the Coli that be like “what Biden did for me? At least with Trump I got my stimulus check” Yall nikkas is a cancer. Real black lives are being destroyed by the actions of Trump and his Supreme Court appointments. Generations of lives being destroyed and you telling me some shyt about both sides. Spit on the ground at you nikkas.

Didn't see nothing about these being athletic scholarships.

Your point? You obviously missed my point. Perhaps retarded?

If they want to box us out than so be it, cause as far as I’m concerned ain’t no coming back from this ruling, time to go fight for other schools (hbcus) to become research institutions like duke

right now is the time to force Biden hand with that hbcu funding if they not going to do anything about the affirmative action ruling

Maybe it's time to get back to academics and destroy these college athletic programs.

Why would any ball player choose duke

NIL

Still, take away the athletics profits from them

This doesn't impact Black athletes unless they don't want to attend Duke because of a lack of campus representation like they did in the 90s. Their scholarships are merit based

 

[Rekkapryde]

this is an academic and hardship scholarship

there's ways around it if they are smart (and want to).

remove the "black" qualifier or make it a private scholarship. make it need based but come up with qualifiers that ensures the money goes to black kids. Gotta think 2 steps ahead

gotta move around their bullshyt.

Those black peoples who are anti-AA aren’t black Americans… but overall I agree

I understand that, my thing is as a black athlete you have some power, and I understand it’s a lot to ask from 18 year olds but still we have to stop this continuing cycle of colleges where athletes is the only black people there

“It is very much disheartening to hear that this program that opened the door for me to come to Duke is now being closed essentially, even though it will take on a new form,” junior Mya Harris said.

Even if it does, it won't be the same and once it's not the same, the numbers will decrease yearly.

Stephen Miller et al want to remove even things like zip-codes and income areas or other things like geography as a qualifier or proxy for race

Stephen Miller warns schools of lawsuits if they ignore Supreme Court affirmative action ruling

The Next Battle Over Racial Preferences

While the Supreme Court has swept away affirmative action, universities still intend to practice preferential admissions by using proxies for race.

Coach K should come out and speak against it. His words would have impact.

All the Black Duke Legends (And white ones honsestly) who don't support the shyt should come out against it.
