West Point faces tight deadline to respond to race-based admissions injunction petition
The Supreme Court Gives West Point Limited Time to Respond to Emergency Petition
The Military Academy West Point has been given just days by the Supreme Court to file a response brief to an emergency petition seeking an injunction against the school’s race-based admissions practices.
Students for Fair Admissions, known for their successful challenges against admissions procedures at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina, filed the emergency petition last week. In response, the Supreme Court requested a swift response from West Point, due by Tuesday at 5 p.m.
Unusually Quick Turnaround for West Point’s Response
The Court has ordered an unusually quick turnaround for West Point’s response brief, which is now due by Tuesday at 5 p.m.
According to Students for Fair Admissions, West Point’s use of race in admissions is a violation of the Constitution.
An emergency injunction, pending appellate review, would limit West Point’s ability to continue its current race-conscious admissions practices until the second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rules on the group’s request for a preliminary injunction.
In their emergency petition, Students for Fair Admissions argued that denying the request would result in irreparable harm, while granting it would not be detrimental to the public interest. They stated, “Though SFFA appreciates that injunctions are extraordinary, they are necessary when the government refuses to stop facially illegal, rapidly approaching, intentional discrimination.”
Edward Blum, President of Students for Fair Admissions, expressed hope that the Supreme Court would prohibit West Point from using racial classifications and preferences in their admissions process for future incoming classes.
The Washington Examiner has reached out to the West Point Office of Admissions for comment.
