UNLV continues to be ranked near the top of U.S. News & World Report’s annual listing of the nation’s most diverse campuses. In an examination of the student body at 389 universities, UNLV’s diversity score was tied for second-best along with Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich., and behind the University of Hawaii. The listing, based on 2019 enrollment, was released Monday.

A federal appellate court on Monday sided with the Trump administration in its effort to terminate humanitarian protections for approximately 300,000 refugees from Haiti, Sudan, Nicaragua, and El Salvador, ruling that the administration can legally end their Temporary Protected Status (TPS). The 2-1 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overturned a district court ruling. The lower court had emphasized that President Donald Trump’s references to those such nations as “shithole countries” was evidence that the decision may have been based, at least in part, on racial animus. The Ninth Circuit decided differently, citing a “glaring lack of evidence […] linking the President’s animus to the TPS terminations.”
