The university replied in a statement that its School of Medicine “is confident in the rigorous admissions process we follow,” and it will review the Justice Department letter.“The students admitted to Yale School of Medicine demonstrate exceptional academic achievement and personal commitment; its program of medical education encourages curiosity and critical thinking, and its graduates go on to become leaders in clinical care, research, and public service,” the school said.Since President Donald Trump returned to office last year, his administration has been putting pressure on universities to stop using race as a basis for admission, which conservatives view as illegal discrimination. And a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2023 banned the use of affirmative action in college admissions, in cases involving Harvard and the University of North Carolina.Last week, the Justice Department notified the University of California, Los Angeles, that its medical school illegally considered race in admissions.In the letter to Yale, Dhillon alleged the New Haven, Connecticut, school was violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibiting discrimination and said the DOJ is seeking to enter into a voluntary resolution agreement with the university. She also noted in the letter that the agency has the authority to take the school to court to enforce Title VI if it cannot obtain compliance through voluntary means.The DOJ cited differences in grade-point averages and standardized test scores as evidence of racial preferences in the incoming classes of 2023, 2024 and 2025. In Yale’s most recent class, Black students had a median GPA of 3.88 and a median MCAT score in the 95th percentile, compared to Asian students who had a median GPA of 3.98 and white students with a 3.97 median GPA. Both Asian and white students of that class had median MCAT scores in the 100th percentile.
“Based on our preliminary review of the applicant-level data, Yale’s use of race resulted in a Black applicant being as much as 29 times higher odds of getting an interview for admission than an equally strong Asian applicant with similar academic credentials,” Dhillon's letter said.The Justice Department also described Yale’s use of a holistic admissions process as a means for the school to consider race.The letter also cited Yale’s amicus brief in the Student for Fair Admissions lawsuit that led to the 2023 Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action, where the school said it would not be able to maintain diverse classes without explicit consideration of race. The department said the fact that Yale was able to maintain similarly diverse classes despite that brief as evidence that the school had engaged in race discrimination.Dhillon wrote that the lack of any change in Yale's admissions outcomes after the Supreme Court ruling showed "a willful failure to comply with that decision.”In March, a coalition of 17 Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit challenging a Trump administration policy that requires higher education institutions to collect data showing they aren’t considering race in admissions.
>>1515177PREDICTION OF HOW THIS THREAD WILL GO:/news/ leftists will come in here claiming that it's not racist.When asked to elaborate the /news/ leftists will say that being racist is not racist and that actually opposing racism is the real racism, so racial discrimination is not racial discrimination because not discriminating against people due to their race is actual racial discrimination.Once we all laugh at them and point out how fucking stupid that sounds, some of the leftists will try to change the topic and that one 16-year-old foreigner will have his usual meltdown where he accuses everybody of being an "esl shill."

>>1515202lmao, Trump is selling out American farmland to ChinaBDS won't save you, silly shilly
>>1515177Didn’t they say they’d do this explicitly, along with countless other universities?
>>1515203So you're saying that Yale is not being racist? Could you elaborate on that?
>>1515212Its not racist or illegal to not allow Republicans into polite society
>>1515184You’re on the wrong board

>>1515229There are only like eight of us here to begin with and we just talk the same shit to each other in every thread. Literally no one besides us on the entire internet gives a shit about this board. /po/ has exponentially more traffic than our board
>>1515231as usual, no /news/ is good /news/
>>1515179>>The Justice Department also described Yale’s use of a holistic admissions process as a means for the school to consider race.Universities don't want to reward parents that sacrifice a student's life on the altar of perfect grades. They want actual people on campus and not robots who also most likely cheated their way in

>>1515177>tfw you're an ugly jeet and white men don't want your jeetpussy
>>1515184how is correcting racial disaprities racist?
>>1515259Racism is defined as discriminating against someone on the basis of their race.If you deny something from someone based on their race, that is discrimination.If you provide something to someone based on their race, that is discrimination.Leftists insist that the disparities between races can only be rectified by taking from the mouths of one person and giving it to another, aka socialism. But leftists also assert that being white means you are automatically in a better position than someone who is black, so white people must have things taken from them and given to black people to fix the disparities.Ironically, this is racial profiling and discrimination, just in the opposite direction. So leftists aren't actually against racism as a general principle, they just want to do it against white people."White" in this context also means jews and asians.
>>1515259>how is rejecting White/Asian applicants just because you don't like their skin color racist?because it is. That's what racism is.
>>1515200>>1515223I'm a progressive,I love white people, as you do Ranjee(Even though you never will be one). I own a gun, I think men should be able to transition into woman, but not play in woman sports. I detest violent crime and censorship, especially right wing kind. And tRump is Mussolini.Whistle while you work, Hitler is a jerk, He made Mussolini wear a sheeny to do is dirty work.
>>1515192hello leftist how long till you start calling everyone ESL because ur an uneducated loser?
>>1515291>I think men should be able to transition into woman, but not play in woman sports.that's enough to make you a turf and get death threats anon...just look at what they did to that poor J.K.rowlingtrump is a necessity unfortunately.
>>1515339>>1515340are you bullied so much that you've decided to post after we all go to bed?
>>1515177It's funny because no one gave a shit when it was white people, not republicans or democrats alike. They only cared when it was the heckin' asians
>>1515291>I love white peoplethen you must be very happy that Trump is consistently fighting to end racism against white people like this. And of course you hated how much Democrats like Biden wanted to discriminate against white people.Right?
