White Bread: Epilogue
Filed in archive Campus Life by Mark on February 23, 2004
As I reported last week, a conservative group at Roger Williams University created a scholarship "for whites only" to protest affirmative action
. Similarly, students at Texas A&M have established three scholarships restricted to Caucasians.
At least the situation at Roger Williams has ended on a good note---for now, anyway. The student who received the award decided to donate the $250 to a fund benefiting survivors of last year's nightclub fire in Rhode Island (home of Roger Williams). That fire killed 100 people and injured dozens more. The student has also pledged to raise an additional $750 for this cause. He told the Boston Globe that he's "just trying to do something good here."
Kudos.
