Justice Department zeroes in on UCLA for alleged illegal DEI admissions as elite school crackdown expands

The Justice Department has concluded that UCLA's medical school engaged in illegal race-based discrimination in admissions, favoring Black and Hispanic applicants over others. The finding follows a year-long federal investigation into the school's diversity-based admissions practices. The Justice Department alleges that the school's focus on selecting minority medical students resulted in lower GPAs and MCAT scores.
