Opponents of Rider University’s $40 million deal to sell Westminster Choir College to a Chinese company have voluntarily dismissed their New York lawsuit over the sale.

U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams, in the Southern District of New York, granted the plaintiffs’ motion for voluntary dismissal on Oct. 2 in McMorris v. Rider University. The plaintiffs in that case, a group of Westminster alumni, parents and students, conceded the proper venue for the suit is Mercer County Superior Court, Chancery Division, where Princeton Theological Seminary v. Rider University is pending.
