Justice Department drops admissions discrimination suit against Yale University February 3, 2021 / 4:11 PM / AP In another reversal of Trump-era policy, the Biden administration on Wednesday dropped its discrimination lawsuit against Yale University. The lawsuit had alleged the Ivy League school was illegally discriminating against Asian American and white applicants. Federal prosecutors said the Justice Department s underlying investigation, aimed at ensuring Yale complies with federal anti-discrimination laws, continues. The government accused Yale in October of violating civil rights laws because it discriminates based on race and national origin in its undergraduate admissions process, and that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year. The investigation stemmed from a 2016 complaint by the New Jersey-based Asian American Coalition for Education against Yale, Brown and Dartmouth.
