Lawsuit alleges Northwestern University violates federal anti-discrimination laws by prioritizing diversity over merit in faculty hiring.

A lawsuit filed by Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences accuses Northwestern University of violating federal anti-discrimination laws by prioritizing diversity over merit in hiring faculty at its law school. The group alleges that left-wing professors and administrators favor women and minorities with mediocre records over white men with better credentials. The lawsuit comes amid a conservative pushback against efforts to ensure American institutions reflect the racial and ethnic makeup of the country.
