Outcome
The court denied the defendants' motion to dismiss, allowing the plaintiffs' civil rights claims challenging the Merit Award Scholarship Program to proceed. The case was allowed to move forward on claims of intentional discrimination under Title VI and equal protection, though the disparate impact claim under Title VI was dismissed following Alexander v. Sandoval.
