- 司法部寻求自愿和解协议
- 耶鲁医学院称对其“严格”的招生流程充满信心
- 特朗普已就一系列问题打击高校
华盛顿，5月14日（路透社）——美国司法部周四表示，耶鲁大学医学院的招生做法存在偏袒黑人和西班牙裔申请人的歧视行为，此次调查结果公布之际，特朗普政府正持续打击高校的多元化政策。
司法部表示，正寻求与该校达成自愿和解协议。耶鲁医学院称对其“严格的招生流程”充满信心，并将仔细审阅司法部的函件。

耶鲁大学此前曾表示，其招生不会歧视任何种族或族裔群体。
司法部在一份声明中表示，耶鲁大学“在招生中故意基于种族进行歧视”，违反了法律。
“调查显示，总体而言，黑人和西班牙裔申请人的学术资质始终低于白人及亚裔申请人，”该部门表示。
2023年，美国最高法院推翻了哈佛大学和北卡罗来纳大学的平权招生政策，叫停了高校基于种族的招生考量。

上周，美国司法部援引一项类似调查的结果称，加州大学洛杉矶分校医学院的招生做法偏袒黑人和西班牙裔申请人。加州大学洛杉矶分校医学院表示，其招生流程“基于择优原则，对每位申请人进行严格、全面的审查”。
总统唐纳德·特朗普将多元化目标斥为反择优原则，并称其歧视白人、男性等群体，他已签署行政命令，取消政府和私营部门的此类政策。
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面临的历史不平等问题。
特朗普已就一系列问题针对高校采取行动，包括多元化目标、气候倡议、跨性别政策以及针对美国盟友以色列袭击加沙的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动。维权人士对学术自由、言论自由和正当程序表示担忧。

特朗普政府尚未直接尝试削减耶鲁大学的联邦资助。根据今年早些时候披露的信息，2025年特朗普重返白宫后，耶鲁大学的游说支出为124万美元，是2024年的两倍多。

- DOJ seeks voluntary resolution agreement
- Yale School of Medicine says it is confident about its ‘rigorous’ admissions process
- Trump has cracked down on schools over a range of issues
WASHINGTON, May 14 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday that admissions practices at Yale University’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 Justice Department said it was seeking to enter into a voluntary resolution agreement with the university. The Yale School of Medicine said it was confident in its “rigorous admissions process” and would carefully review the Justice Department’s letter.

Yale has previously said it does not discriminate in admissions against any racial or ethnic group.
Yale violated the law “by intentionally discriminating based on race in its admissions,” the Justice Department said in a statement.
“The investigation showed that, in general, Black and Hispanic applicants were admitted with consistently lower academic qualifications than their White and Asian counterparts,” the department 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.

Last week, the U.S. Justice Department cited findings of a similar probe to say admissions practices at the University of California, Los Angeles’ medical school were biased in favor of Black and Hispanic applicants. UCLA’s medical school said its admissions practices “were based on merit and grounded in a rigorous, comprehensive review of each applicant.”
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 including diversity goals, climate initiatives, transgender policies and pro-Palestinian protests against U.S. ally Israel’s assault on Gaza. Rights advocates have raised concerns about academic freedom, free speech and due process.

The Trump administration has not yet directly attempted to cut Yale’s federal funding. Yale’s lobbying expenditures in 2025, when Trump returned to the White House, were $1.24 million, more than double what it spent in 2024, according to disclosures made earlier this year.
