The Department of Justice has announced an investigation into four California universities for allegedly engaging in 'illegal DEI' practices in their admissions processes. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that the investigation targets UCLA, UC Irvine, Stanford, and UC Berkeley, asserting that they may have violated both state law and U.S. Supreme Court rulings that prohibit using race as a factor in admissions. While the announcement lacks detailed evidence of wrongdoing, it marks a significant shift in federal policy concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion practices in academic institutions.
The investigation into California universities by the DOJ indicates a shift in policy against using race in admissions, aiming to restore merit-based opportunities nationally.
Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi emphasized the commitment to end illegal discrimination, suggesting the schools failed to comply with laws prohibiting racial considerations in admissions.
