Following a national civil rights issue, The University at Buffalo established an innovation program open to all ethnicities and sexes.
” To qualify, you must possess a firm in the Buffalo- Niagara place”, the M&, T Bank Emerging Entrepreneurs Program then states.
Prior to now, the common school required candidates to be sexual or members of the racial minority business owners in the area.
Mark Perry, a numerous complainant for Title VI and Title IX, appears to have made the shift after contacting the Department of Education about potential legal issues and filing a national problem.
How does UB resolve its stated devotion to equality of opportunity without regard for a person’s sex or race with a biased System that unlawfully and unprofessionally excludes some business owners based on their gender, race, colour, or national origin, Perry asked in an email to college leadership. He shared the email with The College Fix.
He claimed that this is yet another example of how a university develops a new program that disregards race or sex and is either ignorant or cares about the legal implications.
In those hundreds of cases,” the university staff never take legal clearance before introducing, promoting, and offering the new program,” Perry said in emailed comments to The Fix.
He said further:
In contrast to the typical practice of university lawyers, who rarely do a very good job of checking whether new or existing programs are in line with federal civil rights laws, allowing new discriminatory programs like this to be introduced and promoted without being challenged. However, they are frequently quite motivated to correct a violation once they are aware of it, as in this case.
The program’s originality is still present on the website.
A video, still posted on the university website, calls it the” M&, T Bank Minority and Women Emerging Entrepreneurs Program”.
A description above the video still reads,” Designed to assist historically underrepresented entrepreneurs grow their businesses to the next stage of development.”
One of the many complaints Perry has filed that has caused significant change is this. After Perry filed a complaint, Vermont Technical College opened its” coder camp” to both sexes, The Fix reported in 2020.
In response to complaints from Perry and his work with Do No Harm, a number of “diversity” scholarships were also changed.
Editor’s note: Perry is an editorial consultant to The Fix on an unrelated project.
