Justice Department Accuses Multiple Universities of Racial Discrimination in Admissions

The U.S. Department of Justice has accused several prominent universities, including the University of California, San Diego, University of California, Los Angeles, and George Washington University, of discriminating based on race in their admissions processes. The allegations suggest that terms like 'hardship' and 'disadvantage' were used as proxies for race to ensure more underrepresented minority students were granted admissions interviews.
