Florida International University: Racial and Ethnic Restrictions for Class Enrollment
Cases
Florida International University
Case Overview
Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS Victory closed
Florida International University (FIU), maintained ethnicity and race requirements for certain language classes. For example, certain Spanish courses limited enrollment to "Hispanic bilinguals educated in the U.S. . . whose mother tongue is Spanish," "U.S. Hispanic bilinguals," and "U.S. Hispanic Bilinguals Only."; When informed of this policy Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS explained its immorality and unconstitutionality to the administration. Following Âé¶¹´«Ã½IOS's lengthy and quiet involvement, the policy was revised.
