Justice Department Accuses UCLA Law of Using Race in Admissions

The Justice Department said Oct. 1 UCLA Law illegally used race in 2023-2025 admissions, favoring Black and Hispanic applicants over white and Asian American applicants. UCLA denies the claim, saying admissions follow the law. The department says this violates Title VI, barring race bias in federally funded programs, and the Supreme Court's 2023 ban on race-based admissions.
