The Supreme Court has declined to take up a case brought by descendants of Hastings, effectively ending their attempt to put the name back on a law school. The Court's decision leaves in place lower-court rulings against the descendants, who the source says have now "run out of courts to lose in."
The legal fight centered on restoring the name of a figure described in the source as a "genocider" to the institution. The descendants had pursued the case through multiple courts, but with the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the appeal, the matter is closed.
The source does not provide further details about the underlying dispute or the specific law school, but it is clear that the Supreme Court's action is the final word. The outcome means the name will remain off the school, and the descendants have no further judicial avenue.
