Less than a month after declaring that medical schools at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Yale University had violated federal law by considering race or “racial proxies” in admissions, the Department of Justice is expanding its crackdown on the institutions that train America’s physicians.
The DOJ announced Thursday it had launched 15 new investigations regarding “potential race discrimination in medical school admissions.”
The department did not name the institutions in its news release, and when Inside Higher Ed requested clarification, the department did not respond. For now, all the public knows is that the Trump administration is broadening its attempt to “make medicine great again” through civil rights investigations.
