SFFA v. Harvard Ruling
Supreme Court ends race-conscious admissions in higher education.
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a landmark lawsuit against Harvard University, alleging systemic violations of civil rights laws and seeking the recovery of federal funds. This action marks a significant escalation in federal oversight of elite higher education and sets a high-stakes precedent for institutional compliance.
Cambodian authorities have set a firm deadline of April 30, 2026, to dismantle all remaining online scam centers within the country. While the government reports that 80% of targeted sites have already been closed, international experts remain skeptical about the depth of enforcement against high-level criminal networks.
