Northwestern University has convinced a federal judge in Chicago to toss a lawsuit filed against the school alleging it discriminates against white men in its faculty hiring process.
The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis, an Obama-appointee, who agreed with Northwestern’s argument that the plaintiff organization, Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences, lacked standing because it failed to show its members had actually applied for open positions at the law school, Reuters reported.
