A qualified female student from the University of Dallas was rejected for an internship program simply because she is white, the College Fix reported Monday.
“Unfortunately, you are not eligible for the program,” the the rejection letter stated. “SEO Career targets Black, Hispanic, and Native American undergraduates, who are underrepresented in the careers they seek.”
The internship was provided by Sponsors for Educational Opportunity, a professional development organization tied to major financial corporations such as CitiBank, IBM, and Goldman Sachs, the College Fix noted. It was advertised as a financial position under the title of “SEO Career 2021 Paid Summer Internship.”

As reported by The College Fix, The Beacon (Est. 1947) admits there’s been “upheaval” amid its posting of a controversial article.
Protesting Oppression With Educational Reform AKA “POWER” claimed the story “undermined the BLM movement.”

The reason? Call it a “reparations fund;” its proponents do.
As relayed by The College Fix, last year, students organized a “racial justice strike.”
From the Fix:
The students’ demand called for “the implementation of a ‘reparations fund’ towards a yearly allocation of funds and resources to Black and Indigenous students in the form of grants for summer programs, affinity groups, multicultural spaces, and individual expenses such as books, online courses, therapy, and any and all financial need beyond the scope of racial justice work.”
