In documents filed in California’s Central District, the Department of Justice alleges that UCLA’s medical school uses a “systemically racist approach” to admissions that privileges Black and Latino applicants over those who are white and Asian American. Kelly Mahoney, a white woman who said she was rejected by the UCLA medical school because of her race, is also a plaintiff. In a statement, UCLA medical school spokesman Phil Hampton said that UCLA does not comment on pending litigation. The government’s filing uses anonymous quotes from admissions officials published in the Free Beacon, a conservative news site, as evidence in alleging that the medical school has used race in admissions.
