McDonald’s Sued Over Latino Scholarships, One Week After Retreating on Diversity·The Wall Street Journal

McDonald’s is being sued over a decades-old college scholarship program for Latino students, just a week after the burger chain said it would roll back a range of diversity initiatives. The lawsuit—the latest in a growing body of cases by various activist groups challenging corporate diversity initiatives—was filed by the American Alliance for Equal Rights. The organization is run by Edward Blum, the activist whose lawsuits against Harvard and the University of North Carolina led the U.S. Supreme Court to end affirmative action at colleges nationwide.
