A Saskatchewan University was given $500,000 to start a scholarship. The only catch was it was for non-aboriginal students. “The University of Saskatchewan has turned down a $500,000 offer to endow a scholarship because the donor wants the money to be spent only on non-aboriginal students”. The man who gave the money was a student. The university did not except the scholarship because of the racial issues and it would be violating human rights legislation. I think the school did the right thing by not excepting the money. It saved them a lout of bad publicity and legal charges. It would have been selective. I could see how some people would agree with the man offering the scholarship but only because woman and aboriginal people get theirs. This is selective not discriminatory. I think they did the right thing but I also this it is not fair that men and non-aboriginal people done get as much of a chance. If it was up to me I would make it fair so no one not deserving of it or not really trying would get one. There would be scholarships but for high grads in school and for sports. Hopefully one day we will all realize the unfairness.
