DOJ Finds Yale Medical School Discriminated Based on Race in Admissions
“Yale has continued its race-based admissions program despite the Supreme Court and the public’s clear mandate for reform.”
It’s amazing how many institutions of higher education have been flagrantly breaking the law in the name of social justice.
From the DOJ:
Justice Department Investigation Determines Yale’s Medical School Discriminated Based on Race in Admissions
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has completed a year-long investigation into the admissions policies and practices at the Yale School of Medicine.
Yale’s documents show that its leadership intentionally selected applicants based on their race. Yale’s documents reveal that they studied how to use racial proxies to circumvent the Supreme Court’s prohibition on using race to select students. 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.
“Yale has continued its race-based admissions program despite the Supreme Court and the public’s clear mandate for reform.” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “This Department will continue to shed light on these illegal practices, and demand that institutions of higher education comply with federal law.”
The investigation showed that, in general, Black and Hispanic applicants were admitted with consistently lower academic qualifications than their White and Asian counterparts. These facts support the Department’s finding that Yale violated the law by intentionally discriminating based on race in its admissions, in clear violation of federal law.
Medical schools use substantial federal financial assistance to train the next generation of doctors. The Department is continuing its focus on eradicating illegal race politics from admissions at medical schools, where quality and excellence are vitally important to public safety.

will radical blk doctors mistreat wht people? b/c thats what it sounds like
perhaps Yale should pay 1/2 all claims adjudicated when their black grads are involved
This problem is just the latest documented example of what has been going on in whackademic medicine for about four decades now, starting before I was even born. My grandfather served on his medical school’s admissions committee, as did I for about three years. It’s a thankless job always assigned to new faculty. It’s a real eye-opener about just how loony-tunes the administrators are, and how stupid their “goals” are about wanting to be seen as “progressive” against a backdrop of completely imaginary “systemic biases”. If anything, it’s “systemic virtue signaling” gone haywire.
