Yale University is discussing a potential voluntary resolution with the Department of Justice over allegedly discriminatory admissions practices, President Maurie McInnis announced Monday.
In May, the DOJ found that the Yale School of Medicine used racial proxies to admit applicants in violation of a Supreme Court ban on the use of race in admissions practices. The DOJ is also investigating Yale College and Yale Law School.
Amid speculation of a settlement—which has prompted strong faculty pushback—McInnis confirmed that Yale is in talks with the DOJ. She cast those discussions as “a standard and important practice that lawyers for the involved parties and the government participate in conversation and exchange of information to determine whether they can resolve the matter without further legal action.” She added that the talks were a “required and reasonable step.”
