Racial Preferences In Community Colleges?

Apparently community colleges in Nebraska are permeated with policies that discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, individuals based on their race, ethnicity, or gender.

At least that is the claim of the Board of Governors of Southeast Community College, which has campuses in Beatrice, Lincoln, and Milford, which opposes the Nebraska Civil Rights Initiative that would ban such programs.

Officials there said many of the school?s programs would no longer exist if affirmative action is voted down.

The author of the cited article, of course, doesn?t think to ask the Board to describe its programs that discriminate or grant preferences based on race, but I?m sure Nebraskans (and others) would like to know what they are.
