A federal judge on Monday dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit seeking to force Harvard University to turn over admissions records as part of an investigation into whether the Ivy League school continues to consider race in its admissions process.
asserted
school → dismiss → process
U.S. District Judge Myong Joun ruled that the Justice Department had not adequately established that it followed required procedures before suing Harvard to obtain applicant-level admissions data.
asserted
it → rule → data
The dismissal was issued without prejudice, leaving the door open for the administration to file another lawsuit if it addresses the procedural deficiencies identified by the court.
asserted
it → issue → court
"The Government may be able to identify a qualifying determination or cure the procedural deficiency, but it has not supplied a sufficient basis for the judicial relief currently sought," Joun wrote in his 10-page decision.
uncertain
Joun → identify → decision
The Justice Department filed its lawsuit in February, alleging that Harvard had failed to cooperate with a federal civil rights review examining whether the university's admissions practices comply with the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling limiting the use of race in college admissions.
asserted
practices → file → admissions
The Justice Department alleged that Harvard repeatedly delayed producing requested documents and failed to provide individualized admissions records despite multiple requests and extended deadlines.
asserted
Harvard → allege → requests
In announcing the lawsuit in February, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Harvard of withholding information necessary for the government's review.
asserted
Bondi → announce → review
"Harvard has failed to disclose the data we need to ensure that its admissions are free of discrimination," Bondi said at the time.
asserted
Bondi → fail → time
Joun acknowledged that federal officials had made repeated requests for records and warned Harvard of potential enforcement action.
asserted
officials → acknowledge → action
But the judge found that the government's court filings failed to adequately demonstrate that officials had followed the required procedures before seeking judicial intervention.
asserted
officials → find → intervention
In particular, Joun noted that the Justice Department's complaint did not allege that officials had notified Harvard of their intent to pursue litigation if the university failed to comply or adequately identified the specific compliance failure at issue.
asserted
university → note → issue
Joun also found that the Department of Education had not sufficiently demonstrated that it followed its own required procedures before referring its separate admissions investigation for judicial enforcement.
asserted
it → find → enforcement
Harvard's attorneys argued that the lawsuit was part of a broader retaliatory campaign by the Trump administration after the university resisted demands for changes to its governance and academic policies, according to Reuters.
uncertain
university → argue → Reuters
The judge did not rule on Harvard's retaliation claims, stressing that his decision addressed procedural deficiencies rather than whether the university had violated federal civil rights law.
uncertain
university → rule → law
"Nothing in this decision converts the Government's request for information into an accusation of present discrimination or resolves Harvard's underlying Title VI compliance," the judge wrote.
asserted
judge → convert → compliance
