Savannah State Sued

[UNHWildCats]

Four students who have accused Savannah State University of pulling their football scholarships because they are white are now suing the school’s president and interim athletic director for admittance.

Jacob Farmer, Andrew Cannon, Rico Arellano and Forrest Hill filed suit Tuesday demanding that Savannah State allow them to attend on full scholarships.

The 19-page complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, accuses Savannah State, a historically black university, of acting “unlawfully, specifically with regard to the decision to deny them admission and athletic scholarships on account of their race, white.”

The lawsuit also states the students have “suffered actual monetary loss as well as emotional and mental anguish caused by (Savannah State’s) unlawful racial discrimination.”

The four students did not immediately return phone calls. Hill is attending Auburn University, according to his Facebook page.

I think there was an Outside the Lines piece on this a few months ago.
