Activist Edward Blum is targeting another diversity effort in Illinois, this time suing over a new state law that requires many nonprofit organizations to publicly disclose aggregate data about the race, gender and other demographics of their board members and officers.
Blum’s Austin, Texas-based American Alliance for Equal Rights has recently sued Illinois over a minority scholarship program for aspiring teachers and Chicago-based McDonald’s over a nationwide college scholarship program for Hispanic or Latino high school students.
Edward Blum was the guy behind the lawsuit Harvard lost in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.
