Duke Law is Duke University’s law school, a top-tier program known for public service, research, and rigorous legal training. The DOJ says it biased admissions, spotlighting debates on race-conscious admissions and higher-ed policy.
The US Justice Department has found that Duke University School of Law used proxies for race in admissions, citing a probe that suggests Black or Hispanic applicants have a higher likelihood of admission than white or Asian applicants with the same credentials. The department seeks a voluntary settlement while Duke reviews the findings.
