Justice Department Finds UC Davis Medical School Discriminates Based on Race in Admissions

The U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division announced it determined the University of California, Davis School of Medicine (Davis Med) discriminates based on race in its admissions process. This finding follows a six-month investigation and concludes that Davis Med violated the U.S. Supreme Court's 2023 decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which banned affirmative action in higher education admissions.
