The Justice Department has accused Yale University of violating US civil rights law by illegally discriminating against white and Asian American applicants

The department said it was prepared to file a lawsuit against Yale if the school, in Connecticut, did not take"remedial measures.".

"The Department of Justice found Yale discriminates based on race and national origin in its undergraduate admissions process, and that race is the determinative factor in hundreds of admissions decisions each year," it said. Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband said there is "no such thing as a nice form of race discrimination.

The Trump administration opened the investigation into Yale two years ago following a complaint by Asian American groups that it was violating Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, colour and national origin by recipients of federal funds. "At Yale, we look at the whole person when selecting whom to admit among the many thousands of highly qualified applicants," the university said.
