A federal judge on Wednesday ruled Harvard University waited too long to ask an insurer to cover up to $15 million of its expenses from defending its race-conscious admissions policies in a high-profile case now before the U.S. Supreme Court.
that could spell the end of the consideration of race in college admissions.
Harvard sought coverage from its primary insurer, an AIG Inc unit, soon after a lawsuit was filed in 2014 alleging that its adoption of race-conscious admissions policies that help Black and Hispanic applicants discriminate against Asian Americans.That case was filed by Students for Fair Admissions, a group founded by affirmative action opponent Edward Blum. It also filed a similar case against the University of North Carolina, which the Supreme Court heard on Monday with Harvard's.
But in a four-page ruling, Burroughs said it was "clear that Zurich’s lack of prejudice, or constructive, or even actual knowledge would not change Harvard’s obligation to provide notice in full compliance with the terms of the Policy."
