Department of Justice Investigates UC Berkeley Law School for Racial Discrimination

The Trump Administration has accused the UC Berkeley School of Law of illegally weighing race in its admissions process, claiming that it discriminated against white and Asian applicants in favor of Black applicants. The Department of Justice has alleged that the law school engaged in practices that violate civil rights laws by favoring certain racial groups in its admission decisions. This investigation follows a series of claims from the Trump Administration asserting that various educational institutions, including Duke Medical School, are exhibiting racial bias in their admissions processes.
