The Justice Department on Thursday accused the Yale School of Medicine of circumventing the Supreme Court ban on race in admissions by using racial proxies to select applicants.
The finding is the result of a yearlong investigation into the medical school’s admissions policies and practices, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a news release. Yale’s admissions data “demonstrate that Black and Hispanic students have a much higher chance of admission to Yale than White or Asian students with the same test scores,” department officials wrote.
It’s unclear what consequences the department will impose on Yale as a result of the finding. The school received nearly $680 million from the National Institutes of Health in fiscal year 2025, Bloomberg reported.
