- 内容摘要
- 特朗普政府今年早些时候对该医学院提起诉讼
- 戴维·格芬医学院称其招生流程以择优录取为基础
- 特朗普已在多个议题上对高校采取整治行动
华盛顿5月6日（路透社）——美国司法部周三表示，加州大学洛杉矶分校医学院的招生做法存在偏袒黑人和西班牙裔申请者的歧视，这一结论来自一项调查结果，而特朗普政府目前仍在持续打击高校的多元化政策。
加州大学洛杉矶分校的戴维·格芬医学院表示，正在“仔细审阅”司法部的报告，并重申其招生流程“以择优录取为基础，建立在对每位申请者严谨、全面的审查之上”。

该校表示，“对我们的招生做法充满信心”。
司法部于今年1月加入一起诉讼，该诉讼指控该医学院在招生中将种族作为考量因素。
加州大学系统（加州大学洛杉矶分校是其成员之一）此前曾表示，自20世纪90年代中期州法律禁止将种族作为招生考量因素后，该校已停止相关做法。
司法部周三表示：“调查显示，平均而言，被录取的黑人和西班牙裔申请者的学术资质始终低于白人和亚裔申请者。”
该机构称，该校“在招生选拔中故意基于种族进行歧视”，违反了法律。

2023年，美国最高法院推翻了哈佛大学和北卡罗来纳大学的种族意识招生计划，否决了高校的平权行动政策。
唐纳德·特朗普总统将多元化目标斥为反择优录取、歧视白人和男性等群体的行为，他已签署行政命令，计划在政府和私营部门废除此类政策。
民权倡导者表示，多元化举措有助于解决女性、LGBTQ群体和少数族裔等边缘化群体长期面临的不平等问题。
特朗普已在多个议题上针对高校，包括多元化目标、气候倡议、跨性别政策以及反对美国盟友以色列袭击加沙的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动。人权倡导者对此提出了学术自由、言论自由和正当程序方面的担忧。
特朗普去年曾冻结加州大学洛杉矶分校的部分联邦拨款，但一名法官随后下令其政府恢复这些资金。

- Summary
- Trump administration joined lawsuit earlier this year against medical school
- David Geffen School of Medicine says its admission process is based on merit
- Trump has cracked down on schools over a range of issues
WASHINGTON, May 6 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department said on Wednesday admissions practices at UCLA’s medical school were biased in favor of Black and Hispanic applicants, citing findings of a probe as the Trump administration continues its crackdown on diversity policies at colleges.
The University of California Los Angeles’ David Geffen School of Medicine said it was “carefully reviewing” the Justice Department’s report and reiterated that its admissions process “is based on merit and grounded in a rigorous, comprehensive review of each applicant.”

The school said it was “confident in our practices.”
The Justice Department joined a lawsuit in January that alleged the use of race as a factor in admissions at the medical school.
The University of California system, of which UCLA is a part, has previously said it stopped using race as a factor in admissions after the practice was banned by a state law passed in the mid-1990s.
“The investigation showed that, on average, admitted Black and Hispanic applicants had consistently lower academic qualifications than their white and Asian counterparts,” the Justice Department said on Wednesday.
The institution violated the law “by intentionally discriminating based on race in its admissions selections,” it said.

The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at colleges and universities in 2023 when it struck down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
President Donald Trump, who casts diversity goals as anti-merit and as discriminatory against groups like white people and men, has signed executive orders to dismantle those policies in the government and private sector.
Civil rights advocates say diversity practices help address historic inequities for marginalized groups like women, the LGBT community and ethnic minorities.
Trump has targeted universities over a range of issues like diversity goals, climate initiatives, transgender policies and pro-Palestinian protests against U.S. ally Israel’s assault on Gaza. Rights advocates have raised academic freedom, free speech and due process concerns.
Trump had frozen some federal grants for UCLA last year but a judge later ordered his administration to restore those funds.
