特朗普政府指控加州大学伯克利分校法学院“利用种族、作文题目和其他手段来实现其招生多元化目标”。
加州大学伯克利分校法学院院长欧文·切梅林斯基周三表示，该校“招生政策明确规定，招生决策中绝不以任何方式考虑种族因素”。
加州大学伯克利分校校方表示，该校“将不遗余力地提供充分证据”，证明该校遵守所有与招生相关的法律、政策和规定。
特朗普将多元化目标描述为反精英主义且歧视白人和男性，他已签署行政命令予以废除。人权倡导者表示，多元化举措旨在解决少数族裔、LGBTQ群体和女性等边缘化群体面临的历史不平等问题。

2023年，美国最高法院在推翻哈佛大学和北卡罗来纳大学的平权招生项目时，否决了高校的种族意识招生政策。
特朗普政府称：“伯克利法学院的数据显示，其对亚裔和白人申请者存在严重偏见，相应地偏袒黑人申请者。”并补充称，2025年黑人申请者的录取几率是条件相当的白人申请者的5.8倍。
该法学院2025年10月的招生数据显示，其共有1128名法学院学生，其中516人为白人，293人为亚裔，51人为黑人。
美国司法部表示，已寻求与该校达成自愿和解协议。
特朗普政府以针对大学的抗议活动、多元化举措、跨性别政策和气候项目为由展开调查并威胁暂停拨款，这些抗议包括支持巴勒斯坦的游行，反对美国盟友以色列对加沙的军事行动，此举引发了人们对言论自由、正当程序和学术自由的担忧。

他的政府还就招生做法问题针对其他多所学校展开了调查。

Summary
- Trump has cracked down on diversity initiatives during his second term
- UC Berkeley School of Law says race is not considered in admissions decisions
- Rights advocates have raised about Trump administration probes against US schools
WASHINGTON, Sept 8 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice and Education Departments alleged on Wednesday that admissions practices at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law deliberately favored Black applicants and discriminated against white and Asian candidates.
A joint probe by the two federal departments whose findings were announced on Wednesday marked the latest crackdown on diversity initiatives in universities by President Donald Trump’s administration.

The administration alleged the UC Berkeley School of Law uses “race, essay prompts, and other tactics to further its admissions diversity goals.”
Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law, said on Wednesday that the school’s “admissions policy is clear that race is not considered in any way in admissions decisions.”
UC Berkeley’s central administration said the university “will spare no effort to provide ample evidence” to show the university complies with all relevant laws, policies and rules governing admissions.
Trump, who casts diversity goals as anti-merit and discriminatory against white people and men, has signed orders to dismantle them. Rights advocates say diversity practices address historic inequities for marginalized groups like ethnic minorities, the LGBT community and women.

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at colleges in 2023 when it struck down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina.
“The data produced by Berkeley Law demonstrates a strong bias against Asian and white applicants, with a corresponding bias in favor of Black applicants,” the Trump administration said, adding Black applicants had 5.8 times higher odds of admission than comparable white applicants in 2025.
The law school’s October 2025 enrollment data showed 1,128 law students, of whom 516 were white and 293 Asian, with 51 Black students.
The Department of Justice said it sought a voluntary resolution agreement with the school.
Trump has targeted universities with probes and funding suspension threats over pro-Palestinian protests against U.S. ally Israel’s assault on Gaza, diversity initiatives, transgender policies and climate programs, leading to free speech, due process and academic freedom concerns.

His administration has also targeted various other schools over admissions practices.
