The U.S. Department of Justice has accused Yale University of illegally discriminating against Asian and white applicants in its medical school admissions. An investigation found that race was considered, leading to higher admission chances for Black and Hispanic students despite lower academic metrics. The DOJ cited disparities in GPAs and test scores, noting that Black applicants had significantly higher odds of an interview than equally qualified Asian applicants. Yale maintains its admissions process is rigorous and will review the Justice Department's findings. AI
