Yeshiva University v. Yu Pride Alliance

Summary

The Court denied Yeshiva University's stay application without prejudice because avenues for expedited review and interim relief remained available in the New York courts. Applicants could return if they properly sought and received neither form of relief. The Court also vacated Justice Sotomayor's prior order without deciding the underlying First Amendment claims. Justice Alito, joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Barrett, dissented. He would have granted a stay because Yeshiva likely would prevail on its free-exercise claim, faced irreparable harm, and satisfied the remaining stay requirements. He also disputed the need to pursue additional state-court relief.
