Justice Dept accuses Yale Medical School of discriminating

newsMay 14, 202614107

The Justice Department sued Yale School of Medicine on May 14, 2026, accusing its admissions process of intentionally disadvantaging White and Asian applicants. The department's complaint points to statistical disparities and internal admissions notes that the filing says show officials steered offers toward Black and Hispanic applicants. The suit asks a court to bar race-based preferences at Yale and to order remedial relief for applicants the department identifies as harmed. A ruling for the Justice Department could force changes to medical-school admissions nationwide and tighten legal limits on race-conscious policies.
