Department of Justice Alleges UCLA Law School Discriminated Against White and Asian Applicants

The U.S. Department of Justice has accused UCLA Law School of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by discriminating against white and Asian applicants in its 2023, 2024, and 2025 admissions cycles. Investigators claim the school maintained a two-tiered system that favored black and Hispanic applicants with lower LSAT scores. The department is seeking a settlement but has indicated it will file a lawsuit if necessary.
