Trump's DOJ investigating admission practices at 3 medical schools

The Trump administration has asked the Department of Justice to investigate admission practices at three prominent medical schools, according to The New York Times, which cited officials within the administration and said it had also seen related documents.

The issue under purview is whether Stanford University, Ohio State University and the University of California San Diego are guilty of racial discrimination in the medical school admission process. The Times said that the three schools were ordered to provide “extensive lists of data” by April 24 or “risk interruptions to essential federal funding.”

According to the report, the schools are being told to provide applicant information from the past seven years, including home ZIP codes, test scores and whether or not the applicants have ties to alumni or university donors. “The administration also demanded copies of any internal messages at the universities about diversity, equity and inclusion and any correspondence between school officials and pharmaceutical companies about admissions policies,” per the Times.

The letters received by the schools were signed by Harmeet K. Dhillon, an assistant attorney general over civil rights within the DOJ.
