(Minneapolis, MN)--The University of Minnesota is backtracking on a graduate studies program that banned white students. The University had been criticized because of a paid summer internship that was only offered to Native Americans or students of color. The requirements for the program are no longer race-based and applicants instead have to be U.S. citizen with a minimum three-point-oh GPA.
A Cornell University law professor who took legal action against the university last week, said the elimination of racially exclusionary language is "a good first step."
