The sentence uses the classic: Anything but

Whenever this phrase is used in a sentence, one should know that the next word after that phrase is never in the criteria.

For ex: Getting a 330+ in GRE is anything but easy. = It means that 330+ is indeed a hard task.

The newspaper depicted the scholarship program as anything but unfair, but now it depicts the program as ____.

So at first, it was fair as per the newspaper but not it is unfair / biased.

Inequitable & discriminatory
