Yale and Princeton no longer have Donald Trump on their case over how they deal with race in admissions and campus life.
President Joe Biden’s Justice Department on Wednesday dropped a Trump administration lawsuit accusing Yale University of discriminating against Whites and Asian Americans while favoring Black and Hispanic applicants for admission. And Princeton University said that the U.S. Department of Education closed an investigation of the school’s diversity initiatives last month while Trump was still in office.
