AG Bondi launches probe into DEI admissions policies at California universities

Public Prosecutor Pam Bondi ordered investigations to review compliance on Thursday to admission policies at Stanford University and multiple University of California.

The investigation, headed by the Civil Rights Department at the Ministry of Justice, will discuss the policies of diversity, fairness and integration (Dei) in Stanford; University of California, Berkeley; UCLA and the University of California, Irvin.

After the United States Supreme Court’s decision on fair admission students against the president and a fellow at Harvard University, colleges and universities are prohibited from using DEI to accept admission.

“The previous administration has advanced” an ideology behind this illegal practice and did nothing to protect the civil rights of American students, “the Ministry of Justice wrote in the statement.

“The Ministry of Justice will put an end to a shameful system in which a person’s race is more than his ability,” said Acting Attorney General Chad Mizel. “Every college and university must know that the illegal discrimination in admission will be investigated and viewed.”
