On Thursday the Justice Department put Yale University on notice: If by Aug. 27 the school doesn’t agree to stop discriminating by race in admissions, the U.S. “will be prepared to file a lawsuit to enforce Yale’s Title VI obligations.”
The notice follows a two-year investigation spurred by a complaint from Asian-American groups. Among the findings is that Yale “uses race at multiple points in its admissions process,” and that race is the “determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year.” In other words, kids who would otherwise be accepted to Yale are denied solely because of skin color.
In his letter to Yale, Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband puts it this way: “Asian American and White applicants have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials.” In his press release he added: “There is no such thing as a nice form of race discrimination.”
As a private institution Yale can admit anyone it wants. But Yale accepts millions of taxpayer dollars each year under the condition that it will comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. The Supreme Court has said universities can consider race as one factor among many, but Justice’s investigation concludes that Yale’s use of race is “anything but limited.”

Good news. Thank you for posting.
How can this be? Trump is Asiato-phobic, as proven when he called Covid-19 “Kung Flu” with a Chinese journo in the briefing room.
Thanks for that. Copying URLs is impossible on my tablet.
As for Yale, it is now like the rest of the Ivy League: 100% indoctrination, 0% education.
They do not even pretend otherwise.
Thanks to AA, 'comparable' is the weasel word.
Is there a good reason why the taxpayers partially fund these schrools? We should not be financing private schrools.
True. Why are taxpayer financed students loans (public money) going to a private university?
Opposing racial preferences is racist!
Racial preferences is the only way to make college ‘fair’
In 3-2-1
A good start to what has been going on in 90% of Colleges across Our Nation. Now level the playing field in all Colleges.
