The U.S. Department of Justice opened 15 new civil rights investigations into medical school admissions for potential race discrimination, following earlier DOJ actions involving Yale University and UCLA. DOJ said each targeted medical school receives federal funding, bringing Title VI compliance risk into the spotlight for health professional education. The probes come as the Trump administration continues to frame admissions enforcement through the lens of Title VI and post-2023 Supreme Court constraints on race-conscious admissions. DOJ Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said many top medical schools appear more focused on incoming-class demographics than training students to succeed. Medical schools and related admissions stakeholders will now need to scrutinize how holistic review, recruitment practices, scholarship criteria, and related support functions map to DOJ’s stated concerns, especially where federal funds attach.
