Justice Department Finds Yale Illegally Discriminates Against Asians and Whites in Undergraduate Admissions in Violation of Federal Civil-Rights Laws

美国司法部发现,耶鲁大学在本科生招生中,非法歧视亚裔和白人,违反联邦民权罚!

The Department of Justice today notified Yale University of its findings that Yale illegally discriminates against Asian American and white applicants in its undergraduate admissions process in violation of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The findings are the result of a two-year investigation in response to a complaint by Asian American groups concerning Yale’s conduct.   

2020年8月13日,司法部通知耶鲁大学,他们在大学本科生录取中,存在非法的歧视亚裔和白人学生。这是对亚裔团体起诉耶鲁大学的行为后,经过两年的调查后的结果。

“There is no such thing as a nice form of race discrimination,” said Assistant Attorney General Eric Dreiband for the Civil Rights Division. “Unlawfully dividing Americans into racial and ethnic blocs fosters stereotypes, bitterness, and division. It is past time for American institutions to recognize that all people should be treated with decency and respect and without unlawful regard to the color of their skin. In 1890, Frederick Douglass explained that the ‘business of government is to hold its broad shield over all and to see that every American citizen is alike and equally protected in his civil and personal rights.’ The Department of Justice agrees and will continue to fight for the civil rights of all people throughout our nation.” 

政府的职责是对所有人进行广泛的保护,并确保每个美国公民在公民和个人权利方面都受到相同和平等的保护。司法部同意Frederick Douglass在1890年的解释,并且将继续为整个国家的全体人民的民权而战斗。

As a condition of receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer funding, Yale expressly agrees to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a cornerstone civil-rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance.

作为获得纳税人数百万美元资金的条件,耶鲁大学明确同意遵守1964年《民权法案》第六章,这是禁止那些获得联邦财政援助的项目和活动中基于种族,肤色或民族出身的歧视的基本民权法。

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. For the great majority of applicants, Asian Americans and whites have only one-tenth to one-fourth of the likelihood of admission as African American applicants with comparable academic credentials. Yale rejects scores of Asian American and white applicants each year based on their race, whom it otherwise would admit. 

司法部发现,耶鲁大学在本科生的招生过程中基于学生的种族和民族血统进行歧视,种族是每年成百上千个招生决定的决定性因素。 对于绝大多数申请人来说,亚裔美国人和白人只有具有相当学术学历的非裔美国人录取可能性的十分之一至四分之一。 耶鲁大学每年都会根据种族来拒绝很多亚裔和白人申请人。

Although the Supreme Court has held that colleges receiving federal funds may consider applicants’ race in certain limited circumstances as one of a number of factors, the Department of Justice found Yale’s use of race is anything but limited. Yale uses race at multiple steps of its admissions process resulting in a multiplied effect of race on an applicant’s likelihood of admission, and Yale racially balances its classes.

尽管最高法院裁定接受联邦资助的大学可能会在某些有限的情况下将申请人的种族视为众多因素之一,但司法部发现耶鲁大学对种族的使用绝非有限性。 耶鲁大学在录取过程的多个步骤中使用种族因素,这导致种族对申请人录取可能性的影响成倍增加,并且耶鲁在班级上保持种族平衡。

The Department of Justice has demanded Yale agree not to use race or national origin in its upcoming 2020-2021 undergraduate admissions cycle, and, if Yale proposes to consider race or national origin in future admissions cycles, it must first submit to the Department of Justice a plan demonstrating its proposal is narrowly tailored as required by law, including by identifying a date for the end of race discrimination. 

司法部已要求耶鲁大学同意在其即将到来的2020-2021年本科招生周期中不使用种族或民族血统,并且,如果耶鲁大学打算在未来的招生周期中考虑种族或民族血统,它必须先向司法部提交一份计划,该计划能够表明它的提案是根据法律的要求可以进行微调的,包括确定种族歧视终止的日期。
