Impact of Recent Court Decisions on GovCon: SFFA vs Harvard and Ultima vs Department of Agriculture

Two recent court cases – Students for Fair Admissions vs Harvard and Ultima Service Corp vs U.S. Department of Agriculture have significant potential to impact the operations and day-to-day activities of PSC member companies.

A team of legal experts will provide insights and updates pertinent to PSC member companies as the impacts of these cases are felt throughout the federal government.
