arguments in two challenges to Trump-era policies involving the U.S.-Mexico border wall and asylum-seekers as Biden works to change the policies that had been challenged in court.
The Yale investigation, which stemmed from a 2016 complaint against Yale, Brown and Dartmouth, also found that the university used race as a factor in multiple steps of the admissions process and that Yale “racially balances its classes.”
The Supreme Court has ruled colleges and universities may consider race in admissions decisions but has said that must be done in a narrowly tailored way to promote diversity and should be limited in time. Schools also bear the burden of showing why their consideration of race is appropriate.
Yale officials said the university was pleased.
“Yale is gratified that the U.S. Justice Department has dropped its lawsuit challenging Yale College’s admissions practices,” spokesperson Karen Peart said. “We are also pleased that the Justice Department has withdrawn its notice of violation of Title VI and its notice of noncompliance.”

technically, Eretz Isroel is part of the Africa tectonic plate (separated from Arabia at Yam Hamelech and Jordan), probably explains why Israel does not have same oil as Arabs. Different continent.
