Yes. On October 1, 2026, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced investigative findings that the University of California-Los Angeles School of Law discriminated against white and Asian students in admissions for its 2023, 2024, and 2025 incoming classes. The Department said the conduct violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Supreme Court’s 2023 Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard decision banning race discrimination in admissions.
DOJ reported that UCLA Law’s post-SFFA application prompts and recruitment practices were designed to elicit race information, and that its analysis found white and Asian applicants rejected with LSAT scores matching those of admitted Black and Hispanic applicants. The Department said it will seek settlement negotiations for compliance and may file suit if those efforts fail.
