Anti-affirmative action group sues West Point over race-conscious admissions policy

Students for Fair Admissions filed a lawsuit against West Point challenging its use of race in admissions decisions.
The lawsuit argues West Point's policy violates the Constitution and focuses too heavily on race over merit.
Military academies were previously exempt from the Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action in university admissions.
The lawsuit claims race is a major factor for hundreds of applicants to West Point each year.
The case could set a precedent for admissions policies at other military academies.
