Summary
The US Department of Justice has found that the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) medical school discriminated against white and Asian American students by favoring Black and Hispanic applicants. The investigation, which lasted a year, found that admitted students who were Black or Hispanic had lower average grade-point averages and test scores. The Justice Department says this is evidence that the medical school was using non-academic factors to achieve diversity goals.
