Four California universities are under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for allegedly considering race in their admissions processes. The schools include Stanford University and University of California locations at Berkeley, Los Angeles, and Irvine.
A policy expert and conservative nonprofit leader told The College Fix the investigations are needed as these schools are creating a “system of reverse discrimination.”
The 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard Supreme Court ruling prohibits the use of race-based affirmative action in admissions, and the department “is demanding compliance,” a recent DOJ news release announcing the investigations states.
President Donald Trump’s administration is committed to ending race-based admissions, Attorney General Pam Bondi stated in the news release.
