its admissions process. After an intense one-year period of discovery and a nine-day bench
trial, this Court has found that the Academy's admissions program withstands the strict
scrutiny mandated by the Harvard case. The Naval Academy has established a compelling
national security interest in a diverse officer corps in the Navy and Marine Corps.
Furthermore, that interest is indeed measurable, and the Academy's admissions program is
narrowly tailored to meet that interest. In short, this Court defers to the executive branch
with respect to military personnel decisions. Specifically, as noted by Justice Kavanaugh in
Austin v. United States Navy Seals, "the President of the United States, not [this] federal judge" ultimately makes such decisions,108 Accordingly, based on the foregoing Findings of Fact and
Conclusions of Law, this Court enters the following:
ORDER
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED THAT Judgment shall be
ENTERED in favor of Defendants and AGAINST Plaintiff Students for Fair Admissions.
