A federal judge in Austin has dismissed a lawsuit filed on behalf of white students who claimed the University of Texas did not give them a fair chance to apply for admission because of their race.
U.S. District Judge Robert Pitman said the lawsuit was barred because it involved the same issues, and was pushed by the same people, as a previous challenge to UT s admissions policies that was decided in the university s favor by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2016.
In granting summary judgment to UT, Pitman dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled in the future.
