Trump administration opens investigations into 3 medical schools
The DOJ demands seven years of admissions data from Stanford, Ohio State, and UC San Diego medical schools, threatening federal funding cuts amid probes into race-based discrimination.
- Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon confirmed on Wednesday that the Department of Justice launched civil rights investigations into potential race-based admissions discrimination at Stanford University, Ohio State University, and the University of California, San Diego.
- Following the 2023 Supreme Court ruling that ended affirmative action, the Trump administration intensified scrutiny of university admissions policies it views as potentially violating civil rights law.
- Seven years of applicant-level data including test scores, ZIP codes, and donor ties must be submitted by April 24, with noncompliance risking essential federal research funding from the National Institutes of Health.
- Stanford, Ohio State, and UC San Diego spokespeople confirmed receiving the notices and stated their institutions remain committed to 'fair processes' and will 'respond appropriately' to the government's inquiries.
- Earlier this month, a coalition of 17 Democratic state attorneys general filed a lawsuit challenging the administration's admissions data-collection policies, reflecting ongoing legal contention over government oversight in higher education.
