A Yale spokeswoman responded: «We are proud of Yale’s admissions practices, and we will not change them on the basis of such a meritless, hasty accusation.»
Yale University’s undergraduate admissions process «illegally discriminates» against White and Asian students, the Department of Justice said Thursday. A two-year investigation into the Ivy League school found that «race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year,» in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the DOJ said in a press release. The department said Yale must agree not to use race or national origin as criteria in its next admissions cycle, and that if it plans to consider race in the future, «it must first submit to the Department of Justice a plan demonstrating its proposal is narrowly tailored as required by law, including by identifying a date for the end of race discrimination.
