Google Fellowship’s Racial Caps on White, Asian Nominees May Be Civil Rights Violation, Report Says

A directive that limits the number of White and Asian students universities can nominate for a highly sought-after Google fellowship may be in violation of civil rights law, according to a report.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Tuesday that Google’s Ph.D. Fellowship allows participating universities to nominate four Ph.D. students each year.

“If a university chooses to nominate more than two students, the third and fourth nominees must self-identify as a woman, Black / African descent, Hispanic / Latino / Latinx, Indigenous, and/or a person with a disability,” Google’s criterion says, according to the Free Beacon.

The fellowship gives the selected computer-scientist students $100,000. The outlet reported that the rule has been in place since at least April 2020.

Universities that have nominated students in that time frame are a veritable who’s-who of elite institutions — Harvard, Yale, Duke, Princeton, Stanford, Cornell and Johns Hopkins, to name a few.
