Federal Judge Upholds Naval Academy's Race-Based Admissions Policy
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has upheld the Naval Academy's use of race in admissions, citing a compelling national security interest in maintaining diversity within the military. The ruling, by US Senior District Judge Richard Bennett, comes amid legal challenges from Students for Fair Admissions, who argue that such policies violate the US Constitution. The decision highlights the executive branch's authority over military personnel decisions, despite recent Supreme Court rulings limiting race-based admissions in colleges. Students for Fair Admissions plans to appeal the decision.
