Discovery opened in Title VI bias case over UW admissions

A federal judge partly denies a university’s motion to dismiss in Nan and Stanley Zhong’s Title VI lawsuit alleging anti-Asian bias in college admissions, allowing discovery of internal admissions data while dismissing some claims. The ruling keeps the case alive against the University of Washington and other defendants, marking a procedural win for the plaintiffs who argue systemic bias despite Stanley Zhong’s strong credentials (he was rejected by most top schools but later joined Google).
