The school's racial discrimination has a long history. Originally it refused to admit African-American students, until the government forced it to admit them. Then it refused to admit single African-American students, while it admitted single or married European-American students, until the government forced it to abandon this policy also. After that it adopted its current racially discriminatory policy, which it retains to this day (2001).
