Northwestern law school sued for discrimination against white men in faculty hiring

Article here. Excerpt:

'A conservative group on Tuesday sued Northwestern University, claiming its law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring and in the selection of articles that appear in its flagship law review.

The suit filed by an organization called Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences (FASORP), also names several Northwestern faculty and students as defendants. FASORP is represented by prominent conservative attorney Jonathan Mitchell and by America First Legal, which is headed by former Donald Trump adviser Steven Miller.

The law school “refuses to even consider hiring white male faculty candidates with stellar credentials, while it eagerly hires candidates with mediocre and undistinguished records who check the proper diversity boxes,” according to the complaint.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Chicago on behalf of three unnamed FASORP members who allege that they are ready and willing to apply for faculty posts at Northwestern's law school but cannot compete because they are white men.'
