New York Court of Appeals
Campaign for Fiscal Equity, Inc., Appellants v. State of New York, Respondents
June 15, 199586 N.Y.2d 307
Summary
The Court held that the complaint sufficiently alleges a cause of action under the New York Education Article and under Title VI regulations, and therefore reinstated those claims. It dismissed the equal‑protection claims, finding they were not viable under the rational‑basis standard. The decision modifies the Appellate Division’s order and affirms the judgment. Separate opinions contest the reinstatement of the Education Article claim and the dismissal of the equal‑protection claims.
