U.S. judge dismisses Trump administration's Harvard admissions probe case

A federal judge dismissed on Monday a lawsuit by President Donald Trump's administration seeking to force Harvard University to turn over records for an investigation into whether it continues to consider race in its student admissions process. US District Judge Myong Joun in Boston rejected the US Department of Justice's lawsuit, which Harvard contends was filed as part of a broader campaign by the Republican president's administration against the Ivy League school. The judge stressed that his decision rested on narrow, procedural grounds and did not resolve whether the Justice Department and US Department of Education could ultimately seek data on thousands of high school students who sought admission at Harvard.
