Northwestern Law School Defeats Lawsuit Alleging Anti-White Faculty Hiring

{snip}

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis on Wednesday agreed to dismiss the lawsuit brought by a nonprofit organization called Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences (FASORP). The group is represented by prominent conservative attorney Jonathan Mitchell and by America First Legal, which was co-founded by Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller.

FASORP first sued the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law in July 2024, alleging it refused to consider hiring white male faculty candidates with “stellar credentials” while hiring other “mediocre” candidates from diverse racial and gender backgrounds.

Ellis did not explain her reasons for dismissing the case. Northwestern had argued that FASORP did not have grounds to sue because the members it says were passed over for faculty jobs lacked the necessary credentials and had not actually applied.
