The Justice Department Thursday revealed its findings of a year-long investigation into the admission policies and practices at the Yale School of Medicine and said its leadership selected applications based on race -- favored Black and Hispanic students than White or Asians. "Yale’s documents reveal that they studied how to use racial proxies to circumvent the Supreme Court’s prohibition on using race to select students. Yale’s admissions data demonstrate that Black and Hispanic students have a much higher chance of admission to Yale than White or Asian students with the same test scores," the Justice Department said.
"The investigation showed that, in general, Black and Hispanic applicants were admitted with consistently lower academic qualifications than their White and Asian counterparts. These facts support the Department’s finding that Yale violated the law by intentionally discriminating based on race in its admissions, in clear violation of federal law," the department said.
