Arkansas lawsuit seeks to end discrimination for scholarship based on racial discrimination

A lawsuit against the Arkansas Minority Health Commission seeks to end discrimination on scholarship decisions which currently exclude White and Arab American applicants. 

"Today Do No Harm is asking the court for a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to immediately stop the Arkansas Minority Health Commission from making scholarship decisions based on the race requirement that excludes white and Arab students," Dr. Stanley Goldfarb, Board Chair of Do No Harm told Fox News Digital.

"The AMHC is illegally excluding and discriminating against certain students and denying them opportunities based on their race in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution."

Do No Harm, an organization working to address discriminatory practices in healthcare, filed the lawsuit on behalf of a member against Kenya L. Eddings, the executive director of the Arkansas Minority Health Commission, earlier this month.
