Microsoft is offering its Office Ultimate Suite of products to students at 12 black colleges and universities and members of Hispanic student organizations for $59.95 (a 91% discount from the product's $679.95 regular price) through a program it's calling the Ultimate Steal Promotion.

The company will also donate a dollar from each sale -- as offered through a special URL -- to student organizations registered with the company.--Aaron Baar

    This promotion is NOT only for students at 12 black colleges and universities and members of Hispanic student organizations.

    http://www.microsoft.com/student/discounts/theultimatesteal-us/default.aspx

    This offer is good only to eligible students who attend an educational institution geographically located in the United States. This offer is non-transferable. One of each product may be purchased per eligible student (but not required).

    The following conditions serve to define student eligibility for the Promotion:

    1. .edu: Individual must possess a valid e-mail address at a U.S. educational institution which contains the domain suffix .edu; OR
    Pre-Approved School List: Enrolled in a U.S. educational institution included on the pre-approved school list; OR
    Submission of school enrollment: Submit verifiable school enrollment via the validation process; AND

    2. Individual must be a student at a U.S. educational institution and must be actively enrolled in at least 0.5 course credit and be able to provide proof of enrollment upon request.

    Michelle is correct. The headline is misleading... I dislike Microsoft, but it isn't fair to say this is a racist-incited promotion like this article suggests.
