Duke Under Fire Over Admissions | Orlando News

The Justice Department is accusing Duke Law School of secretly using race in admissions—despite a Supreme Court ban—by pointing to data showing minority applicants with similar credentials had higher acceptance rates, even when rejected white and Asian students scored higher on LSATs.
