DOJ opens 15 new investigations into medical schools’ admissions
Each school receives millions in federal funding as the agency expands Title VI enforcement over admissions practices, officials said.
- On Thursday, the Justice Department opened 15 new civil rights investigations into medical schools to examine 'potential race discrimination' in admissions, enforcing Title VI through the lens of the Supreme Court's 2023 decision banning race-conscious admissions.
- These latest actions follow allegations that Yale University and the University of California, Los Angeles violated civil rights law last month by giving Black and Hispanic applicants an advantage in admissions.
- In March, the Department reportedly launched similar Title VI probes into medical school admissions at three institutions: Ohio State University, Stanford University, and the University of California, San Diego.
- Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon stated that many medical schools appear more concerned about incoming class demographics than training students to succeed in the profession.
- The Justice Department has not released the names of the 15 schools currently under investigation, nor has it commented publicly on the earlier probes, limiting transparency about which institutions face scrutiny.
