Justice Department accuses Yale School of Medicine of race-based admissions discrimination
The Justice Department on Thursday alleged that Yale School of Medicine violated federal anti-discrimination law by using race as a factor in admissions decisions, favoring Black and Hispanic applicants over white and Asian students. The finding cited internal documents and disparities in academic metrics between admitted groups. This is the second major medical school targeted by the Trump administration in eight days, following a similar accusation against UCLA's David Geffen School of Medicine last week.
