NCLA filed the lawsuit, as well as a preliminary injunction on behalf of Ms. Ahmad, challenging the U.S. Department of Education’s 1998 rule and its decision to reject her 2021 application on the basis of her Arabic-speaking heritage. The Department of Education has agreed not to apply the rule to her and other similarly situated applicants this year.
