Trump administration claims UC Berkeley law school discriminates against white, Asian applicants
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported47m ago
On Wednesday, the Trump administration accused the University of California's Berkeley School of Law of illegally discriminating against white and Asian applicants. Officials from the Justice Department and Education Department asserted in a letter to the law school's legal representative that the institution favors Black applicants over white and Asian applicants in violation of federal law.
This action represents the latest in a wave of similar allegations leveled by the administration against graduate programs in California. The scrutiny follows a 2023 Supreme Court decision addressing race-conscious admissions practices in higher education.
