Blatantly illegal, but that never seems to stop leftoids.

Didn’t Harvard just lose a SCOTUS case over this same thing?

misleading
currently, $60 million is raised to create
Dartmouth STEM-X, to increase access and leadership opportunities for historically underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), and prepare the next generation of leaders in these fields, President Philip J. Hanlon ’77 announced at a forum for alumni, technology leaders, and entrepreneurs in San Francisco on December 6.
the remit is a series of popular buzzwords regarding a special purpose of the program, which is otherwise a normal STEM program and there will be plenty of white men at Dartmouth, as usual
this might include 'historically underrepresented groups' that include low income white men, but that is unknown at the moment
currently Dartmouth is half white, and 1/4 white men, and almost 1/6th asian
https://admissionsight.com/dartmouth-diversity-statistics/
so the STEM-X portion of the very wealthy ($8.5 billion endowment) Dartmouth will supposedly help recruit underrepresented students, some of whom could be low income men, though this could be wishful thinking
the fact remains: we do not know

You are literally stating a bunch of lies and hogwash that are directly contradicted multiple times by the text of the article. Either you fundamentally don't understand how scholarships, research grants and academia in general work, or you are arguing in bad faith.

Thanks for this, but while the article is misleading, it's not misleading to say that race/representation is a silly notion that should be excised from academia. I get helping economically disadvantaged people of any race should absolutely be a priority, the point is science. It's very unscientific to constantly be concerned with quotas based on race.

That's the left's racism, isn't it? They constantly equate black = poor.

Simple solution, don't base it race at all. Base it on ability and economics. I certainly don't want anyone who has the ability to be denied an opportunity to study just because they can't afford it. But basing it on race quotas is just as racist.

If the people donating the money want to be racist, sexist etc, that's on them.

If things were the other way around and this was explicitly for 'whites only' then the people involved would be arrested on the spot.
