Coalition for TJ v. Fairfax County School Board, 601 U.S. ___ (2024).
In the wake of SFAA, SCOTUS declined review of the admissions policy of a selective magnet school in Virginia, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, prompting this scathing dissent from denial of certiorari by Justices Alito and Thomas. How quickly, and on what battle lines, post-SFAA cases will be fought remains to be seen. In the meantime, both public and private entitites are revising policies, in what some claim are over- and under-corrections in light of SFAA and the ongoing threats of litigation.
Consider the current docket of The American Alliance for Equal Rights, the organization that sponsored SFAA, here. Beyond other educational institutions and military academies, challenges are being raised to various pipeline and employment programs, both public, e.g., the federal Small Buisness Administration's Minority-owned Business grant program, and private, e.g., diversity initiatives of companies ranging from Starbucks to law firms.
