McDonald’s sued for Latino scholarships after ditching some DEI practices
- The American Alliance for Equal Rights is suing McDonald's for alleged discrimination regarding its HACER National Scholarship Program for Latino and Hispanic students, claiming it unlawfully excludes non-Hispanics and racial minorities from eligibility.
- The lawsuit was filed in Nashville, Tennessee, where the HACER scholarship program is administered, and seeks an injunction due to an approaching application deadline of February 6.
- Edward Blum, leading the lawsuit, argues that McDonald's should open the scholarship to all under-resourced high school students, regardless of ethnicity, citing the program's discriminatory nature.
- McDonald's is reviewing the lawsuit amid broader trends of companies rolling back diversity initiatives, following a shifting legal landscape after a 2023 Supreme Court decision against affirmative action.
