The U.S. Department of Justice opened civil rights investigations into 15 medical schools over allegations of potential race discrimination in admissions. DOJ said each school under investigation receives millions of dollars in federal funding. The probes follow DOJ’s earlier findings that Yale and UCLA medical schools allegedly violated federal law by using race in admissions in ways DOJ says are now prohibited under recent Supreme Court interpretations. DOJ leaders argued that medical school admissions practices appear focused on class demographics rather than student success once admitted. Schools under investigation have not been named in the DOJ announcement, but the action signals a broader enforcement push by the civil rights division during the current administration.
