The Justice Department has accused UCLA's medical school of illegally considering race in its admissions process, leading to the denial of qualified white and Asian American applicants.

UCLA stated its admissions are merit-based and it is reviewing the findings, while the Justice Department could pursue legal action or a loss of federal funding if a resolution isn't reached. AI
