Yale University (the last I heard)is a private school and can use any criteria it chooses So if Yale University decided to institute a policy of discriminating against all Black people or Jews, and denying them admission, that would be legal, just because it is private?

If that is true I am appalled. I truly hadn't realised America was like that. If any one had told me that my first asumotion would have been that it was an pretty unsavoury anti-American libel. Until you confirm that it is true I will refuse to believe it.
