Department of Justice concludes UCLA medical school violated Supreme Court ruling on race-conscious admissions
The DOJ's Civil Rights Division completed a year-long investigation into UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine and found the institution used race-based admissions practices for incoming classes 2023-2025, violating the 2023 Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. The DOJ identified specific mechanisms including guidance documents, the AAMC's PREview exam, and secondary application questions asking about marginalized group status as methods to circumvent the ban on racial consideration in admissions.
