Case filed by Equal Protection Project and Pacific Legal Foundation. Court rules: "plaintiffs have plausibly alleged that their children have been treated differently than members of the historically underrepresented minorities included in the STEP eligibility criteria.... If this Court were to grant plaintiffs the relief they have requested, their children would cease to experience the stigmatic injury they suffer by being treated differently based on their race."

"The Equal Protection Project, a conservative legal group, has been particularly active in challenging services for students based on race and gender.... William A. Jacobson ... said his group’s goal is 'to stop discriminatory conduct... We don’t accept that having racially discriminatory barriers is just no big deal or is not actually depriving, not actually harming someone'.”
