Students for Fair Admissions Picked Up the Discrimination Lawsuit Against Yale After the DOJ Dropped It
On February 25, less than one month after the Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped their discrimination lawsuit against Yale University, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) announced they now intend to file a new discrimination lawsuit against Yale on the same grounds. Students for Fair Admissions, a nonprofit membership group, who, according to their website, “believe that racial classifications and preferences in college admissions are unfair, unnecessary, and unconstitutional,” announced they will be filing a new lawsuit against the Ivy League university. In a press release, the president of SFFA, Edward Blum, said, “It is disappointing that the Department of Justice withdrew from this important lawsuit, which had exposed Yale’s illegal use of quotas to achieve racial and ethnic proportionality… Students for Fair Admissions intends to file a new lawsuit against Yale in the coming days.”
