The state of Tennessee and the group Students for Fair Admissions are suing Hispanic-serving institutions as “unconstitutional” and “discriminatory” for requiring their institutions to enroll at least 25 percent Hispanic students to qualify for specific federal grants.

The plaintiffs seek “a declaratory judgment that the HSI program’s ethnicity-based requirements are unconstitutional” and “a permanent injunction prohibiting the [Education] Secretary from enforcing or applying the HSI program’s ethnicity-based requirements when making decisions whether to award or maintain grants to Tennessee’s institutions of higher education.”
According to the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) there are 39 HSIs in NY, 27 in NJ and four in Pennsylvania. You can see the breakdown here.
