The Department of Justice’s civil rights division has launched investigations into 15 medical schools over allegations of potential race discrimination in their admissions processes.
Thursday’s announcement follows the DOJ’s recent findings that the medical schools at the University of California, Los Angeles and Yale University illegally used race in their admissions.
“Many of America’s top medical schools appear more concerned about the demographics of their incoming classes than training students to succeed in the profession,” assistant attorney general Harmeet Dhillon of the DoJ’s civil rights division said on Thursday.
