The Department of Justice just dropped the hammer on Yale School of Medicine, concluding after a year-long investigation that the institution intentionally discriminated against White and Asian applicants in favor of Black and Hispanic ones — in direct defiance of the Supreme Court's ruling against race-based admissions. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon didn't mince words, and Patriot Post brought the story home today.

They called us racist for wanting a colorblind admissions process. Turns out Yale was the one running a racial spoils system all along — and now the DOJ has the receipts.

Here's what the Civil Rights Division found: Yale's leadership didn't just passively "consider" race. They intentionally selected applicants based on their race. And when the Supreme Court told them to stop — via Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. UNC in 2023 — Yale's admissions staff actively studied how to use "racial proxies" to circumvent the prohibition. They found workarounds. They kept doing it anyway.

The data is damning. Black and Hispanic applicants were admitted with "consistently lower academic qualifications than their White and Asian counterparts." Students with identical test scores had wildly different chances of admission depending on their skin color. This wasn't some subtle thumb on the scale — it was a systematic program spanning the incoming classes of 2023, 2024, and 2025.

Let that sink in. Three full years after the Supreme Court said "stop," Yale Medical School kept picking future doctors based on melanin content rather than merit.

Dhillon's statement cut right to it: "Yale has continued its race-based admissions program despite the Supreme Court and the public's clear mandate for reform." The DOJ is alleging a clear violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 — the same law the civil rights movement fought to pass. Ironic, isn't it?

The Justice Department says it's seeking a voluntary resolution agreement with Yale, but made clear it has full authority to drag the university into federal court if compliance can't be achieved through cooperation. Translation: fix it or we'll fix it for you.

Yale's response? The usual Ivy League arrogance. The school said it would "carefully review the Department of Justice's letter" and that it's "confident in the rigorous admissions process we follow." Confident! They got caught red-handed running an illegal racial preference scheme in medical school admissions — choosing who gets to be a doctor based on skin color — and they're "confident."

This isn't just Yale, by the way. The DOJ has found similar violations at UCLA, Ohio State, Stanford, and Harvard. The entire elite academic establishment decided the Supreme Court's ruling was merely a suggestion. They were wrong.

We waited years for this. We fought through the courts, got the ruling in Students for Fair Admissions, and then watched these universities openly thumb their noses at the decision. Now the enforcement arm is swinging. This is what "elections have consequences" looks like — not just winning court cases, but having a DOJ that actually enforces them.

Yale Medical School. Where they pick your doctor by race. And they call us the bigots.
