The scholarship is named in honor of Reginaldo “Reggie” Howard, Duke’s first Black student government president who died in an automobile accident during his sophomore year in 1976.

Duke is discontinuing its Reginaldo Howard Memorial Scholarship Program, a program for “top applicants of African descent,” in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court decision that ended race-based affirmative action in college admissions.

    It’s so strange that all these Republican-led bills seem to target women, minorities, and poor people! What a crazy coincidence

      Hey now, they also write bills that target white men too. It’s just purely a coincidence that those bills cut taxes.
