(Bloomberg) 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.

The U.S. Department of Justice dropped its lawsuit accusing Yale University of discriminating against Asian and white applicants in undergraduate admissions, as the debate over affirmative action in higher education heads for a possible showdown at the Supreme Court.
Wednesday s voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit, which had been brought by the Trump administration, followed a Nov. 12 decision by a federal appeals court that Harvard University s use of race in undergraduate admissions complied with federal civil rights law.
