The Department of Justice said Wednesday that the University of California, Los Angeles, used race-based admissions practices at its medical school, despite a 2023 Supreme Court ruling prohibiting such policies.

In a findings letter, the DOJ concluded that UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine discriminated against applicants based on race in its incoming classes of 2023 through 2025, in violation of federal law and the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, which banned the consideration of race as part of the college admissions process.
