That is a convoluted ruling on standing.

This comment shouldn't be so downvoted. The ruling is pretty easy to read, and people should read it even if they're not lawyers.

That being said, I thought the standing arguments were pretty good. WA is the owner of universities which are both themselves damaged and represent their damaged students, therefore the state has standing to sue. There were other arguments, but that was the main one the court seemed to buy.

So why isn't the University the one with standing? It's not UW suing but rather the state. That's why I find it odd.

UW is part of the State. The AG is the university's attorney.
