U.S. Justice Department Launches Civil Rights Probes Into Admissions at Five Medical Schools
The U.S. Justice Department launched civil rights investigations into alleged racial discrimination in college admissions at five medical schools, including Dartmouth College and the University of California San Diego. The probes follow a recent finding that the UC San Diego medical school illegally used race in its enrollment process, allegedly discriminating against white and Asian applicants in favor of black and brown applicants.
The Justice Department announced the new probes on Tuesday, expanding the Trump administration’s enforcement campaign against race-conscious enrollment policies at universities. The review widens federal scrutiny beyond the single medical school already found to be in violation.
