The Supreme Court unanimously rejected a lower court ruling that required heterosexual plaintiffs to meet a higher evidentiary hurdle in workplace discrimination claims. This decision, stemming from a case involving the Ohio Youth Services Department, signals a shift in how "reverse racism" and bias claims are handled under Title VII. The ruling coincides with increased federal scrutiny of Ivy League universities, including proposals to tax large, tax-free endowments and address tuition inflation driven by government-backed student loans.
