Judge Dismisses the Case Used for 15 Years to Prod States, U.S. on Campus Segregation.

Fields, Cheryl M.

Chronicle of Higher Education, v34 n17 pA1,22-23 Jan 6 1988

Judge John H. Pratt held that under a 1984 Supreme Court ruling, the civil-rights organizations that had pursued the "Adams case" no longer had the legal standing to continue it. He found it was "speculative" whether the cutoff of federal funds would lead discriminatory states to change their actions. (MLW)
