WASHINGTON, D.C. — September 4, 2024 — This past week, many schools including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Amherst College, Tufts University, Yale University, Princeton University and the University of Virginia released the demographic breakdowns for the incoming classes of 2028 – each institution’s first freshman class since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in higher education last June.
On behalf of the undersigned civil and human rights organizations, we write to urge the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate the allegations of law enforcement abuses—in response to peaceful protests occurring in cities and on university campuses across the country—that may be in violation of federal laws. We likewise urge the Department of Education (ED) to take immediate action to address possible civil rights violations committed by university officials in connection with peaceful protests on campuses.
