DOJ alleges Berkeley Law shows race-based bias in admissions, favoring Black applicants

The Justice Department and Education Department say UC Berkeley School of Law violated Title VI by biasing admissions against Asian and White applicants while favoring Black applicants; 2025 data reportedly show Black applicants had 5.8 times higher odds of admission than comparable White applicants, with noted LSAT score disparities among admitted students. Berkeley Law denies the claims, asserting it complies with Proposition 209 and federal law and relies on race-neutral factors to pursue diversity.

Discovery opened in Title VI bias case over UW admissions

A federal judge partly denies a university’s motion to dismiss in Nan and Stanley Zhong’s Title VI lawsuit alleging anti-Asian bias in college admissions, allowing discovery of internal admissions data while dismissing some claims. The ruling keeps the case alive against the University of Washington and other defendants, marking a procedural win for the plaintiffs who argue systemic bias despite Stanley Zhong’s strong credentials (he was rejected by most top schools but later joined Google).

Jamie Raskin opened an inquiry as the DOJ denies the allegations, and settlements at Brown, Columbia, and Harvard illustrate the ongoing disputes over free speech and campus antisemitism enforcement.

Judge tosses DOJ’s Harvard antisemitism suit as too isolated to prove bias

A Massachusetts federal judge (Richard G. Stearns) dismissed the Justice Department’s lawsuit accusing Harvard of failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment, saying the cited 2023–24 incidents and three March 2025 events were too isolated to establish a Title VI violation and that the DOJ hadn’t shown ongoing noncompliance since a June 2025 compliance notice. The DOJ said it is considering next steps, Harvard did not comment, and advocacy groups noted that antisemitism remains an issue on campus amid the broader political pressure campaign against the university.

Judge Tosses DOJ Antisemitism Case Against Harvard, Finding No Ongoing Violations

A federal judge dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit accusing Harvard of permitting antisemitism against Jewish and Israeli students, saying the government failed to prove an ongoing Title VI violation. The court found most incidents occurred in 2023-24 and only a few followed, deeming them too isolated to establish continued noncompliance. The DOJ signaled possible appeals, while Harvard emphasized its commitment to supporting Jewish and Israeli students on campus.

Judge dismisses Trump’s bid to label Harvard antisemitism a civil-rights violation

A federal judge in Boston dismissed the Trump administration’s lawsuit alleging Harvard failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment, finding the cited incidents largely from 2023-24 were too isolated to constitute an ongoing Title VI violation, and noting the amended complaint lacked factual allegations after Harvard was put on notice.
