West Point sued over race-based admissions after Supreme Court's rejection of affirmative action
Fox News
Students for Fair Admissions is suing the U.S. Military Academy at West Point over alleged racial composition "goals" after the Supreme Court's affirmative action ruling.
"Instead of admitting future cadets based on objective metrics and leadership potential, West Point focuses on race," according to the complaint. "In fact, it openly publishes its racial composition 'goals,' and its director of admissions brags that race is wholly determinative for hundreds if not thousands of applicants."

"For most of its history, West Point has evaluated cadets based on merit and achievement," the lawsuit says, claiming that the culture has shifted over the past several decades.
