Oregon funds schools based on the race of their students – doling out millions of dollars based on “underrepresented racial/ethnic” enrollment.

The State of Oregon continues to distribute education funding based on race and ethnicity, Oregon Roundup Foundation has learned, through programs like the Student Success Completion Model, the Community College Support Fund, and Charter School Equity Grants.

This continues after the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Students For Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which found discriminating against white and Asian applicants in favor of “underrepresented” applicants violates the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection.
