The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to block an elite Virginia public high school's admissions policy - designed to increase its racial and socioeconomic diversity - that was challenged by a group that said the rules discriminated against Asian Americans who make up the majority of its student body.
The justices denied a request by the group, Coalition for TJ, to reinstate a federal judge's February ruling that stopped Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria from using the recently devised admissions policy.
The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had put Judge Claude Hilton's February ruling striking down the high school's admissions policy on hold while litigation over the admissions policy's legality moved forward. Thomas Jefferson is a magnet school with a selective admissions policy that has had chronic underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic students.
