Yale ‘illegally discriminates’ against White and Asian students, Justice Department says Published Thu, Aug 13 20204:55 PM EDTUpdated Thu, Aug 13 20205:45 PM EDT Kevin Breuninger@KevinWilliamB Key Points Yale University’s undergraduate admissions process “illegally discriminates” against White and Asian students, the Department of Justice said. A two-year investigation into the Ivy League school found that “race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year,” in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the DOJ said. A Yale spokeswoman responded: “We are proud of Yale’s admissions practices, and we will not change them on the basis of such a meritless, hasty accusation.” A view from Sterling Library at Yale University. Stan Godlewski | The Washington Post | Getty Images Yale University’s undergraduate admissions process “illegally discriminates” against White and Asian students, the Department of Justice said Thursday. A two-year investigation into the Ivy League school found that “race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year,” in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the DOJ said in a press release. The department said Yale must agree not to use race or national origin as criteria in its next admissions cycle, and that if it plans to consider race in the future, “it must first submit to the Department of Justice a plan demonstrating its proposal is narrowly tailored as required by law, including by identifying a date for the end of race discrimination.” Yale denied the allegation. Karen Peart, a spokeswoman for the university, said in a statement to CNBC that the Justice Department made its conclusions before Yale had provided enough information to show that its practices “absolutely comply with decades of Supreme Court precedent.” “At Yale, we look at the whole person when selecting whom to admit among the many thousands of highly qualified applicants,” Peart said. “We are proud of Yale’s admissions practices, and we will not change them on the basis of such a meritless, hasty accusation.” Earlier this year, the DOJ reportedly asked a federal appeals court to overturn a prior ruling that Harvard College does not discriminate against Asian Americans in its admissions process. The DOJ’s probe of Yale found that Asian American and White students are one-tenth to one-fourth as likely to be admitted to the New Haven, Connecticut, university as Black students with comparable academic resumes, the press release said. “There is no such thing as a nice form of race discrimination,” said Eric Dreiband, assistant attorney general for the department’s Civil Rights Division, in the press release. “Unlawfully dividing Americans into racial and ethnic blocs fosters stereotypes, bitterness, and division. It is past time for American institutions to recognize that all people should be treated with decency and respect and without unlawful regard to the color of their skin.” The DOJ added: “Yale rejects scores of Asian American and White applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit.” The Justice Department also accuses Yale of racially balancing its classes. In a separate letter, the department warned that if Yale does not agree to the demanded changes by Aug. 27, the DOJ “will be prepared to file a lawsuit to enforce Yale’s Title VI obligations.”
This is called black privilege. Its not just Yale, most colleges engage in this silly yet illegal practice. What winds up happening is blacks have a tough time keeping up with many of the classes and wind up dropping out of Yale or just choosing useless majors that are much less challenging and end up not being able to find good paying jobs. Thats really what causes the wage gap by the way.

Anyone who has been at a university has accepted this as a truth. The SAT awards minority races significant bonus points meaning whites, and particularly asians, must work significantly harder to meet the same entry criteria. At many universities race is used as a tiebreaker. At least locally the black and latino student groups are responsible for regularly organizing various forms of protest and "lobbying" (read: donating to and screaming at deans) to make sure these policies happen. This happened regularly last semester prior to COVID. Imagine that. Having starting money improves your chances of having money later in your life. They never said income was used as a determinant. It's really nice to know that when I applied to university I not only had to work harder than blacks and latinos, the probability of me getting caught in a tiebreaker and losing my scholarships and admission was nearly 100% if I got an equal score. Classic "look over here" leftist tactic though. You sure are good at sliding threads.
Yale's acceptance rate is 6% based on the large number of applications. Sounds like some salty bitches who did not get in decided to raise a stink since their mommy and daddy could not buy their way in anymore by faking a row team...
