A federal civil rights complaint has been filed against California's top public university, alleging that it is offering 'LatinX' and 'Pilipinx' race-based scholarships, violating equal protection laws. The complaint was submitted by Cornell Law professor William A. Jacobson and his Equal Protection Project.
