Google has revered its racial quota policy for its PhD fellowship program following pushback that accused the company of unfairly discriminating against Asians.
the PhD Fellow Program in 2009 "to recognize and support outstanding graduate students pursuing work in computer science, related disciplines or promising research areas.
Some complained the quota unfairly discriminated against Asians. Google later modified the policy. Instead of requiring the previous racial quota, the company now "strongly encourage[s]" additional nominees who fall under the aforementioned categories. Many elite schools have partnered with Google to nominate students for the program including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, and the University of California, Berkeley, among others.
Adam Mortara, who is representing the plaintiffs in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, told the Washington Free Beacon: "It is illegal for Google to enter into its contracts based on race under the Civil Rights Act of 1866 … and it is illegal for universities receiving federal funds to nominate students based on face under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act."
