A new federal lawsuit could pick up where the U.S. Supreme Court left off, by challenging the race-based admissions policies employed at U.S. military service academies.

In June, the Supreme Court ruled in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which challenged the university’s admissions policies. The court ruled 6-3 against Harvard’s practices, ruling that similar admissions processes employed by many U.S. colleges and universities are unconstitutional.
