The U.S. Department of Justice has ruled that Yale University illegally discriminates against Asian American and white applicants, in violation of federal civil rights law. For its part, Yale calls the allegation “meritless” and “hasty.” The case is similar to one brought against Harvard last year. That case was rejected by a federal judge. 

Connecticut Public Radio's All Things Considered host John Henry Smith spoke with Dennis Parker, the Executive Director of the National Center for Law and Economic Justice in New York. He's also the former National Director of the ACLUs Racial Justice Program.

He addressed why the DOJ is making this move at this time. You can hear the interview below:

John Henry Smith is Connecticut Public’s host of All Things Considered, its flagship afternoon news program. He's proud to be a part of the team that won a regional Emmy Award for The Vote: A Connecticut Conversation. In his 21st year as a professional broadcaster, he’s covered both news and sports.
