AAER sues McDonald's over HACER scholarship, claiming it discriminates against non-Hispanic students.
The American Alliance for Equal Rights (AAER) has sued McDonald's for allegedly discriminating against high school students through its HACER scholarship, which awards up to $100,000 annually to students with Hispanic/Latino heritage. AAER claims this violates civil rights laws and seeks to make the program open to all races. The lawsuit comes after McDonald's announced changes to its diversity initiatives. McDonald's is reviewing the complaint and will respond accordingly.
