Justice Department Finds UCLA Medical School Discriminated in Admissions Based on Race
The U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division has concluded a year-long investigation into the admissions practices at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. The investigation revealed that the school intentionally selected applicants based on race, favoring black and Hispanic candidates over white and Asian applicants with higher academic qualifications. This practice was found to be in violation of federal law, which prohibits race-based discrimination in educational institutions. The Justice Department emphasized that such practices detract from the merit-based selection process essential for training competent medical professionals.
