A federal judge has dismissed part of Harvard University's lawsuit against the insurance broker Marsh & McLennan. The lawsuit accused the broker of failing to secure up to $15 million in insurance coverage to help pay legal bills related to Harvard's affirmative action case. The case led to a Supreme Court decision barring the consideration of race in college admissions. The judge cited delayed action in seeking the insurance coverage as a reason for the dismissal.
