News summary

A conservative group, Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences (FASORP), has filed a lawsuit against Northwestern University's law school, alleging discrimination against white men in faculty hiring and article selection for the law review. The complaint claims that the university's affirmative action policies favor women and racial minorities over more qualified white male candidates, which violates federal anti-discrimination laws. The lawsuit names several faculty members and student editors as defendants and links the alleged discriminatory practices to policies instituted by former Dean Daniel Rodriguez. Northwestern University plans to vigorously defend against these allegations. This legal action follows the Supreme Court's recent rulings against affirmative action in college admissions, signaling a potential wave of similar lawsuits challenging race-conscious hiring practices in academia.
