The Department of Justice has issued data requests to three major medical schools—Stanford University, Ohio State University, and the University of California, San Diego—seeking years of admissions-related information. The requests, due by April 24, could affect federal funding for professional programs if institutions fail to comply. According to reporting cited in the coverage, the DOJ is seeking applicants’ test scores, ZIP codes, relationships to alumni, ties to donors, and corresponding materials dating back seven years. The department is also seeking communications involving admissions staff and pharmaceutical companies related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Each institution confirmed receiving the request, with UC San Diego stating it is committed to fair processes and Ohio State saying it is fully compliant with state and federal regulations. The inquiry extends federal oversight beyond undergraduate admissions and reinforces the compliance risk for higher education institutions with professional programs. For campus leaders, the immediate operational impact is the compliance burden and the risk of funding contingencies tied to document production.
