DOJ accuses Yale of discriminating against Asian, white students with ‘race-based admissions program’
“Yale’s use of race resulted in a Black applicant being as much as 29 times higher odds of getting an interview for admission," the DOJ letter says.

The Justice Department on Thursday accused Yale University of illegally considering race in admissions to its medical school — the second institution to face discrimination allegations by the federal agency this month.
