The Air Force Academy faces a lawsuit over its consideration of race and ethnicity as factors for admission.
The suit accuses the academy of violating the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution.
The plaintiff is asking the courts to declare the academy's use of race in admissions as unconstitutional and to issue a permanent injunction, preventing the academy from considering or knowing an applicant's race when making admissions decisions.
Denver7's sister station in Colorado Springs reached out to the academy for comment, but as of the publishing of the article, haven't heard back. This web story will be updated.
