"We're not looking at achieving a particular racial outcome ... . It's unfortunate that some organizations seem to view the success or failure of the program based simply on what percentage of students of this color or that color can participate."--Roger Clegg, president and general counsel of the Center for Equal Opportunity. Colleges and universities throughout the country are offering white students the opportunity to apply for fellowships, scholarships and other programs previously created for minorities. Clegg's group wants schools to eliminate race as a factor in decision making in higher education.
