Justice Department Opens Investigation Into the University of California System for Race- and Sex-based Employment Practices

Excerpt:  “The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation into the University of California (UC) system, including its individual campuses, concerning potential race- and sex-based discrimination in university employment practices. The University of California’s ‘UC 2030 Capacity Plan’ directs its campuses to hire ‘diverse’ faculty members to meet race- and sex-based employment quotas. These initiatives openly measure new hires by their race and sex, which potentially runs afoul of federal law.”
