Fed complaints allege anti-white bias at UNC
*Ain’t GOP control of state government grand?*
(*SIGH*)
The US Supreme Court has already heard a case about discrimination at UNC against Asians that COULD have implications for white students. At the end of 2022, it appears two new complaints were filed with federal investigators alleging the university system discriminates against whites:
In late December, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights received two complaints against a total of seven identity-based programs associated with UNC.
More specifically, the complaints were against programs that encourage the participation of specific demographics — primarily women and students of color. These complaints alleged that certain UNC programs are in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.
The complaints were filed by Mark Perry, professor emeritus at the University of Michigan-Flint and a senior fellow at Do No Harm — a group of professionals that seeks to “protect healthcare from a radical, divisive, and discriminatory ideology.”
Perry has filed suits at almost 600 other universities.
Title VI prohibits discrimination on the basis of race or national origin from organizations that receive federal funding — of which UNC is one. Similarly, Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex from those same federally-funded institutions.
Perry’s initial complaint, filed on Dec. 19, focused on the Fellowship for Exploring Research in Nutrition, or FERN, which is sponsored by UNC’s Global Food Research Program. It alleged that the program violated Title IX because the website criteria specifies applicants must be students of color.
After the complaint was filed, the website was soon after changed to include all undergraduate students, and Perry withdrew his original complaint.
UNC Media Relations said in a statement that the eligibility criteria on the FERN webpage did not accurately reflect the University’s commitment to inclusion and has since been corrected.
“Carolina remains committed to an inclusive and equitable community for all. A diverse student body is vital to fostering academic excellence, helping to broaden understanding among people of all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, spurring innovation and preparing engaged citizens and future leaders,” Media Relations said.
Perry said he is now “a full-time civil rights activist,” hoping to raise awareness about Title VI and Title IX compliance in universities around the country. He said that universities have a double standard and are selective in their enforcement of these laws.
“I’m just trying to hold universities accountable to their legal obligation, and also their moral and ethical obligation, to treat students as individuals and not as members of groups and not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin,” Perry said.
A week after the initial complaint, Perry filed a second complaint with the Office for Civil Rights, this time listing six more alleged violations of both Title VI and Title IX.
Among the programs listed in the complaint was a scholarship fund for Black students featured on the UNC General Alumni Association’s website, a well-being initiative for women faculty of color in the Eshelman School of Pharmacy and a student meet-and-greet specifically for students of color in the Gillings School of Global Public Health.
Erika Richmond, a postdoctoral research associate with the UNC Center for Civil Rights, said that in her opinion, many of the programs do not violate Title IX or Title VI because they are funded by private individuals.
For instance, Richmond pointed to the UNC General Alumni Association scholarship program. Though it is advertised by alumni relations, it is based on endowments made by private individuals. Because of this, it may not violate Title IX, she said.
She said that even federally-funded programs are not always black and white.
“What would be considered illegal would be an all-out prohibition, like this is just for women, this is just for people of color,” she said. “But, a lot of the language of these things are preference towards women, preference towards people of color, which means that if you are not a woman or a person of color, you could still apply and so, therefore, it’s not exclusionary.”[…]
Oh, sure. You could fill out all the paperwork you want. You could be interviewed. But — if you are white and male — do you stand a snowball’s chance in hell of being seriously considered or hired for the job?
MORE:
[…] Though UNC has yet to respond to Perry directly, the second complaint has been acknowledged by the Office for Civil Rights.
The next step, Richmond explained, would be an investigation into the complaint followed by a decision about whether or not discrimination has occurred. If discrimination is found, the discriminating party would then either work with the Civil Rights Office to correct the violation or be referred to the Department of Justice.
In the end, Richmond said that the complaints were a “smokescreen,” distracting from a discussion of the bigger issues, like the difficulties women and students of color face in educational institutions.
“There’s so few opportunities for women and people of color that these programs need to exist in order to give them entrance into certain professions or once they get into these professions to make sure that they’re supported and that there’s retention,” she said.
At time of publication, there is no timeline for a response from the Office for Civil Rights.[…]
Where have all our ”eyes-and-ears” — our GOP legislators — been on this stuff? 
DEI, SEL, CRT and all kinds of other anti-white, anti-male, pro-gay, anti-Christian bigotry is being practiced all over state government. It’s even happening in the domain of DPI superintendent Catherine Truitt (R). And not one peep out of Timmy or Phil and their gang.
Just proves once again that our RINO legislators and the RINO UNC trustees they appoint are liars and hypocrites. They betray our conservative voters at every turn. Sad state of affairs.
Representative Jon Hardister has been the chairman of the House Standing Committee on Education – Universities and Vice Chairman of the House Standing Committee on University Board of Governor Appointments. He is the chief do-nothing in the House who has let this cancer spread in our universities, whether by design or incompetence. With that miserable record on his resume, Hardister is NOT somebody we should even consider for Commissioner or Labor. How much similar woke crap would he just let slide there?
We need to hold the politicians who let us down accountable for their shortcomings.
Has Jon Hardister taken any responsibility for his disastrous RINO appointments to the UNC system? Has he even been questioned about it? Why has Hardister been allowed by leadership to destroy conservative reform of UNC? We deserve some answers!
Hardister and Lee are total frauds, like the rest of that sorry bunch based in Raleigh. Weak White men destroying White boys’ lives.
UNC’s Class of 2025 is 37% male and yet EVERY single solitary piece of garbage spewing out of Chapel Hill screeches about the oppressed women and minorities.
All of THIS has happened on those two clowns’ watches:

Or, the latest from Honors Carolina… (take a look at the photos of the Honors kids and, believe me, there is no need for this initiative…)
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging Intern
Honors Carolina is looking for three (3) student interns to collaborate with the Honors Carolina team to support an internal review of how Honors Carolina can help meet the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Belonging (DEIB) needs and interests of Honors students. This will be a weekly role with responsibilities in the development and implementation of qualitative research methodologies and instruments, reaching out to departments and college units around campus, and cataloguing and documenting existing DEIB resources and gaps.
I repeat: White men destroying White boys’ lives.
Criminal. And demonic.
How can we get Hardister and Lee removed from these committee assignments? Who can we call and complain to? It seems to be as bad as it was when Thom Tillis was Speaker.
Truly have no clue. I don’t think there is a single elected NCGOP official in Raleigh fighting for us, for our kids. Not one.
NCGOP has conserved nothing, screwed its base at every turn. Look at our public schools, the university system and their dead silence on ECU Medical’s gender affirming care. All infiltrated by leftist ideology, anti-White racism (esp for boys) and now ‘socially acceptable’ child butchery. (Never forget that Dan Forrest’s Hal Weatherman had a front row seat to the CRT/SEL push in our schools; Dan did nothing to stop it but I digress…). Also notable that not one Republican politician has spoken out about that vax, specifically its dangers to our best and brightest generations. They are whores for the other side, big business and anybody but you.
And, WE are absolute morons for continuing to vote in these people.
The problem is that there is way too much power in the legislative leadership, and that needs to be changed, as does who is actually in those positions. When you have RINO “leaders” who conspire with the Democrats including Roy Cooper on major issues AGAINST the Republican base and the rest of the legislators let them get away with it, we have an untenable situation in Raleigh. Look at Berger and Moore trying to sell out the Republican base right now on Obamacare Medicaid expansion, which has been Roy Cooper’s biggest wet dream since he became governor. Berger and Moore have already handed Roy Cooper his other two big objectives, ending our bathroom privacy law, HB2, and passing North Carolina’s Green New Deal, HB951. Both are massive screw jobs on the GOP base, but Berger and Moore were right there marching in lockstep with Roy Cooper to screw us. Benedict Arnold seems to be the role model of both Berger and Moore. They are despicable traitors to the Republican voters of North Carolina.
The real question is where are the true blue conservatives in the NC House and Senate to do what the 20 heroes in the US House just did to take a bite out of the excessive power of leftwing legislative dictators Berger and Moore? Why are so many GOP legislators seemingly afraid of their own shadows? It is really pathetic.
Local Republicans need to be insuring that we elect the right type of people to Raleigh, those who will stand on principle and not be pathetic flunkies to our leftie RINO “leadership”. If you have a local legislator who votes for Obamacare Medicaid expansion or who voted for the NC Green New Deal or the Gaystapo repeal of HB2, find a primary opponent for them and vote their ass OUT!
On point as usual.
Scaredy-cat and/or sellout NCGOP pols are laying the groundwork for horrors like this https://thefederalist.com/2023/01/19/virginia-teen-sex-trafficked-twice-after-school-hides-gender-identity-from-her-parents/
