A federal judge in the US has dismissed a case brought by the Trump administration seeking to investigate Harvard University's admissions process. The case, which aimed to force the university to disclose admissions data, was rejected by a federal judge in Boston.
The court ruled that the administration's request lacked legal standing and did not meet the necessary criteria for a valid investigation. The case was part of broader efforts by the Trump administration to scrutinize university admissions practices, alleging potential bias against conservative applicants.
This decision follows a series of legal challenges against the Trump administration's attempts to influence college admissions. The case was initially filed in 2018 and had been pending for several years. The judge's ruling marks another setback for the administration's agenda on higher education policy.
