The US Department of Justice placed  Harvard University under scrutiny for alleged violations of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Washington Times reports.

The Department told the University to turn over documents by December 1 or face legal challenge from the federal agency.

Specifically, Justice wants all documents related to the university’s admissions policies to determine if the school’s guilty of affirmative action overkill.

The federal agency launched an investigation of Harvard’s affirmative action practices some time ago, after an Asian-American complained in 2015 of discrimination.

According to initial findings obtained by CNN, the federal entity has determined the university is "out of compliance."
