DOJ Accuses Duke Law of Racial Discrimination Against White and Asian Applicants The Department of Justice has accused Duke University's law school of discriminating against white and Asian applicants in its admissions process, favoring instead those from underrepresented racial groups.
This move has sparked heated debates about affirmative action policies and their impact on college admissions.
Background of the Allegation The DOJ complaint is based on a lengthy investigation into Duke Law's admissions practices, which concluded that the school had indeed engaged in discriminatory behavior against white and Asian applicants.
