Feds sue Yale, allege discrimination against applicants
Read full article: Feds sue Yale, allege discrimination against applicantsWASHINGTON ā The Justice Department sued Yale University on Thursday, weeks after prosecutors found the university was illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants, in violation of federal civil rights law. A statement from the university president said Yale will not change its admissions practices as a result of the suit. The action from the Justice Department is the latest by the Trump administration in a long-running effort aimed at rooting out discrimination in the college application process, following complaints from students about the application process at some Ivy League colleges. The Justice Departmentās investigation ā which stemmed from a 2016 complaint against Yale, Brown and Dartmouth ā also found that Yale uses race as a factor in multiple steps of the admissions process and that Yale āracially balances its classes," officials said. Schools also bear the burden of showing why their consideration of race is appropriate.
Feds accuse Yale of discriminating against some applicants
Read full article: Feds accuse Yale of discriminating against some applicantsWASHINGTON A Justice Department investigation has found Yale University is illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants, in violation of federal civil rights law, officials said Thursday. The two-year investigation concluded that Yale rejects scores of Asian American and white applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit, the Justice Department said. Yales race discrimination imposes undue and unlawful penalties on racially-disfavored applicants, including in particular Asian American and White applicants, Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband, who heads the departments civil rights division, wrote in a letter to the colleges attorneys. Yale has previously denied that its admissions process discriminates against Asian Americans or any other ethnic group. In the Harvard case, the Justice Department had argued that the university went too far in its use of race, but the judge disagreed.
