A federal judge today rejected a request by Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) — the group that successfully challenged race-conscious college admissions policies before the U.S. Supreme Court — to bar the U.S. Naval Academy from considering race when evaluating candidates for the school. Reuters reports that U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett in Baltimore declined to issue a preliminary injunction sought by the group, saying it failed to show it would likely succeed in proving that the academy's consideration of race as an admissions factor was discriminatory.
