The University of California, Los Angeles has chosen to accept a ruling that found it did not ensure equal access to the school for all students, including Jews.
Lawyers for the college withdrew an appeal on Friday filed following their defeat in Frankel v. Regents of the University of California, a suit filed by three students.
In his written decision, Judge Mark Scarsi called the situation on campus “so unimaginable and abhorrent to our constitutional guarantee of religious freedom that it bears repeating.”
UCLA spokeswoman Katherine Alvarado told The Washington Free Beacon that “we will abide by the injunction as this case makes its way through the courts.”
Mark Rienzi, the attorney who represented the students, said in a statement that “we’re glad to see UCLA in full retreat. Appealing Judge Scarsi’s very reasonable order to stop discriminating against Jews was always a bad idea.”
Rienzi called the appeal’s dismissal “the first step on the road to recovery of a campus that welcomes all, including its Jewish students.”
