Kansas City Star | 04/03/2004 | Black-only awards end at two colleges:
By LYNN FRANEY The Kansas City Star
Washington University in St. Louis announced Friday that it will open a black-student scholarship program to applicants of all races, after federal officials encouraged the move earlier this week.
St. Louis University, which civil rights investigators also visited this week, has also opened a similar scholarship program to applicants of all races.
Their decisions are part of a national movement away from the affirmative-action programs that helped ease black students' entry into higher education after the era of educational segregation."
