The Department of Justice has accused Yale University of illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants.
The major policy shift comes days before President Trump will announce his pick to replace Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, who upheld affirmative action.
A two-year civil rights investigation, in response to a complaint by Asian American groups, found that race was a factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year, officials said. It also found Asian American and white applicants have one-tenth to one-fourth the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with similar credentials.
"Yale’s use of race at multiple steps of its admissions process results in a multiplied effect of race on an applicant’s likelihood of admission," Dreiband said in the letter.In a statement, Yale said it"categorically denies" the DOJ's allegation of discrimination, and called the investigation"meritless" and"hasty."
