 Mattera argues that he supports private organizations such as the Hispanic College Fund, The United Negro College Fund, and other groups that are privately funded and ethnically-based that award scholarships to members of their own communities, a position he claims is fully in line with freedom of association.However, he is opposed to federally subsidized institutions creating two classes of persons by imposing different standards on them.Either such universities should compile race-based scholarships for all students, or they should award scholarships on the basis of merit alone, he writes.
