Feb. 13 (UPI) -- The Department of Justice sued Harvard University on Friday for failing to hand over documents for an investigation into whether its admissions process discriminates against white people.
The Justice Department said its investigation is to determine if the Ivy League school is complying with the 2023 Supreme Court decision to ban affirmative action in higher education admissions. The investigation was launched in April and was to determine if the school's admissions process for its undergraduate, law and medical schools follows the decision.
Harvard has said it follows the Supreme Court ruling.
"Under President [Donald] Trump's leadership, this Department of Justice is demanding better from our nation's educational institutions," The Hill reported Attorney General Pam Bondi said. "Harvard has failed to disclose the data we need to ensure that its admissions are free of discrimination -- we will continue fighting to put merit over DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] across America."
