"Supreme Court Allows West Point's Race-Conscious Admissions Policy to Stand"

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request to halt the use of race in admission decisions at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, following a ruling in June that barred colleges and universities from using affirmative action. The decision comes amid a lawsuit filed by Students for Fair Admission against West Point and the Naval Academy, claiming that the practice causes harm to white applicants. The U.S. Solicitor General defended the policy, citing the importance of diversity in the military, while a federal judge previously denied SFFA's request, stating it couldn't show likelihood of success in the case.
