Last time U.S. District Judge Allison Burroughs sided with Harvard in
a case about the universitys alleged discrimination, it ended with the
Supreme Court declaring race-conscious admissions unlawful at schools
across the country. Harvard won its battle in the lower court on the
way to losing the broader war. As it turns out, the same federal law
at issue in the affirmative-action case, Title VI, is a basis of
Harvards challenge to the Trump Administrations freezing and
terminating of nearly $2.2 billion in federal grants to the university
this past spring. On Wednesday, Judge Burroughs gave Harvard a win
that vindicated broad principles at stake for universities and the
rule of law. But the victory will not end Harvards pain, and it
remains to be seen whether higher education can triumph in the end.
