Judge dismisses Harvard admissions-data lawsuit on procedural grounds
The ruling leaves the underlying dispute unresolved.
A US judge dismissed the administration’s lawsuit seeking Harvard admissions records on November 2. Judge Myong Joun found that officials had not completed required steps to seek voluntary compliance before suing.
The decision does not determine whether Harvard discriminated or must ultimately provide the data. The photograph shows Harvard Yard in an archival image uploaded in 2006.
