Trump Administration Sues Yale to End Affirmative Action

"The Trump administration sued Yale University today accusing the school of violating federal civil rights law by discriminating against applicants based on their race.

"The Justice Department lawsuit is the most drastic action the Trump administration has taken to combat the use of race in university admissions, a practice that has repeatedly been upheld by the Supreme Court. But race-based affirmative action is considered vulnerable under the conservative majority on the high court, which would expand further if the Senate confirms President Donald Trump’s nominee, Amy Coney Barrett."
