In the USA, a lawsuit was filed against the University of California, in which the university is accused of racial discrimination for the fact that he allegedly gives priority to candidates with African and Latin American origin when enrolling.
According to The Washington Post, a student group based on combating racial discrimination, filed a lawsuit against the university.
Students argue that the university violates the principles of equality, giving priority to candidates with African and Latin American origin, and require that the race is not taken into account in the process of enrollment.
The press secretary of the University of California said that in the process of enrolling the race is not an assessment criterion, and data on the race and ethnic origin are collected exclusively for statistical purposes.
