Is UW-Madison's Philosophy Department Violating Federal Law On Their Website?

Is UW-Madison's Philosophy Department breaking federal law ?
Our department embraces the university’s commitment to diversity and believes that philosophical inquiry is greatly enhanced within a diverse and inclusive community. Recruiting the highest-quality graduate students requires that we seek out applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. We strongly encourage women and racial and ethnic minorities to apply to our program and to explore the different Graduate School programs and funding, such as application fee waivers and Advanced Opportunity Fellowships (AOF), in support of its commitment to diversity.

Do white males and registered Republicans get the fee waivers? Is this a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act?
