( also apparently there’s also a separate lawsuit from another student. but seriously: filed in 2020? it’s 2024 now. that student will also be done soon enough. and then i can’t help but think it’ll be dismissed because of standing. )
Barbers Hill’s hair policy was also challenged in a May 2020 federal lawsuit filed by two other students.

That lawsuit is still pending.
side note: it’s a very weird irony that the school is called “barbers”. nominative lawsuitism.
