“The Supreme Court on Friday refused to immediately force the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to change its race-conscious admissions policies, less than a year after the court’s conservative majority rejected similar programs at other colleges and universities,” the Washington Post reports.
New York Times: “The court’s order rejected a request for emergency relief from Students for Fair Admissions, a conservative group that has repeatedly challenged affirmative action in college admissions, as a lawsuit moves forward.
It had asked the justices to act swiftly because West Point was poised to stop accepting applications on Jan. 31.”
