Trump Admin Accuses Yale of Discriminating Against White and Asian Applicants
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In education news, the Justice Department is accusing Yale University of
violating federal civil rights law by discriminating against Asian
American and white applicants. This comes after a two-year investigation
into the Ivy League school, fueled by President Trump's opposition to
affirmative action policies aimed at boosting admissions for
underrepresented communities, particularly Black, Brown and Latinx
students.
