Justice Dept. cites Duke Law racial admissions issues
The Justice Department accused Duke University’s law school of unlawfully considering race in admissions by using factors like personal essays and first-generation status as proxies for race, despite claims of being race-neutral. The department found that Black and Latino applicants with similar credentials were more likely to be admitted than white or Asian applicants, with disparities evident in test scores. The DOJ is seeking a settlement with Duke Law amid broader investigations into racial considerations at other institutions following a 2023 Supreme Court ruling prohibiting affirmative action.
