华盛顿9月22日路透电 — 加州大学旧金山分校周二表示,不认同美国司法部一项联邦调查的结论。该调查指控该校医学院在招生中偏袒黑人和西班牙裔申请者,歧视白人和亚裔申请者。
司法部指控,2023年至2025年间,加州大学旧金山分校医学院“录取的黑人和西班牙裔申请者的学术表现,均低于被拒绝的白人和亚裔学生的平均水平”。

司法部指控该校依赖“无明确终点的模糊多元化目标”,这是唐纳德·特朗普政府时期针对高校多元化举措的最新一轮打击行动。
司法部周二向该校发送了一封信件(将在新标签页打开),称其正在寻求一份自愿合规协议,同时敦促该校于10月2日前联系司法部。若此类协商失败,司法部表示将提起诉讼。
“加州大学旧金山分校不认同司法部针对医学院招生流程的调查结论,”该校于周二晚间表示。
该校称,所有医学院申请者都将通过“一套严谨、个性化的审核流程进行评估,该流程以学术卓越为优先考量”。

该校表示将继续与司法部进行“建设性接触”,并期待此事得到解决。
特朗普曾将多元化目标斥为反精英、歧视白人和男性的举措,并已签署行政命令予以废除。民权倡导者则表示,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种族意识招生计划时,否决了高校的平权行动政策。
特朗普曾以针对高校的调查和暂停拨款威胁,来打击支持巴勒斯坦的抗议活动、多元化举措、跨性别政策和气候项目——这些行动引发了关于言论自由、正当程序和学术自由的担忧。

其政府还曾就招生流程问题针对其他多所高校展开调查。

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) – The University of California, San Francisco, said on Tuesday it disagreed with the US Department of Justice’s findings from a federal probe that alleged the institution’s medical school favored Black and Hispanic applicants in admissions and discriminated against white and Asian applicants.
The DOJ alleged that from 2023 to 2025, the UCSF School of Medicine “admitted Black and Hispanic applicants who academically underperformed the average rejected white and Asian student.”

The department alleged the school relied on “vague diversity goals with no meaningful endpoint,” marking the latest targeting of diversity initiatives in universities by President Donald Trump’s administration.
The DOJ wrote a letter, opens new tab to the school on Tuesday, saying it sought a voluntary compliance agreement while urging the school to contact the DOJ by October 2. If those efforts fail, the DOJ said it will file suit.
“UC San Francisco disagrees with the Department of Justice’s finding regarding the School of Medicine’s admissions process,” the university said late on Tuesday.
It said that every applicant to its medical school is evaluated “through a rigorous, individualized review process that prioritizes academic excellence.”

The university said it would continue to engage “constructively” with the DOJ and looked forward to resolving the matter.
Trump, who has cast diversity goals as anti-merit and discriminatory against white people and men, has signed orders to dismantle them. Civil rights advocates say diversity practices address historic inequities for marginalized groups like ethnic minorities, the LGBT community and women.
The US Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at colleges in 2023 when it struck down race-conscious admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina.
Trump has targeted universities with probes and funding-suspension threats over pro-Palestinian protests against US 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 their admissions practices.
