An anti-affirmative action group recently dropped its lawsuit against Yale University after administrators agreed to overhaul the admissions policies in compliance with the June Supreme Court decision that struck down race-conscious admissions.
Students for Fair Admissions had initially challenged Yale’s race-conscious admissions policies in February 2021, but the lawsuit was put on hold as the Supreme Court deliberated over similar cases the association brought against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
As part of the association’s decision Sept. 7 to drop the lawsuit, Yale agreed to make clear in its training materials that race may not be a factor in admissions decisions, according to court documents.
Change at Yale?
