The other institutions listed in the lawsuit as “third-party defendants” include Yale University, Princeton University, Oberlin College in Ohio, the MacArthur Foundation, and Carnegie Corporation.

Dominguez, professor of Mexican and Latin American politics and economics, asked if “good departmental courses” would need to meet the multidisciplinary threshold in order to fulfill Gen Ed credit.
