The University of California condemned the state’s highest court for allowing a ruling to stand that holds the school’s policy of barring the hiring of undocumented students without federal work authorization is “discriminatory.” 

In August, an appeals court ruled UC had not provided sufficient legal grounds to justify its “discriminatory policy,” ordering the school to reconsider the policy. UC instead appealed the decision to the state’s Supreme Court. California’s highest court recently declined to hear the case, allowing the ruling to stand.
