BREAKING: U.S. Justice Dept. accuses Yale University of illegally discriminating against Asian American and white students in admissions, a major escalation of the admin.'s attacks on affirmative action.
"Yale’s race discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, including in particular Asian American and White applicants," Dreiband said in his letter.
By contrast, the Justice Department said in its letter Thursday, Yale considers an applicant's race at several steps in the admissions process."Yale's approach is thus a far cry" from the admissions processes upheld by the Supreme Court, the government said. Because Yale receives millions of dollars in federal funds, it is subject to a provision of civil rights law that bans discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin and other factors.
"Had the department fully received and fairly weighed this information, it would have concluded that Yale’s practices absolutely comply with decades of Supreme Court precedent," the school said.
