”After reviewing [Campus Reform’s] initial article, Compton College identified an error in the recently launched ‘Faculty Prep Academy’ application description and contacted USC to correct it in alignment with our contract for this program. The program is open to all currently enrolled master’s and doctoral students across California who began their postsecondary education at a California Community College before transferring to a four-year university in academic fields taught at Compton College, without regard to an applicant’s race, color, ancestry, ethnic group identification, or national origin,” Parnock said.

Previously, an application for the program stated that 30 “currently enrolled master’s and doctoral students of color” who attended any community college in California would be selected for the program, which prepares students to become eventual faculty members.

[The ‘error’ was that Compton College and USC got caught in illegal discrimination. Kudos to Campus Reform for the victory. — Ed]
