Summary
Fifteen more medical schools are under Justice Department investigation over alleged racial discrimination in admissions, expanding a federal crackdown announced Thursday.
The new cases follow earlier DOJ actions targeting similar admissions programs at Ohio State University and Stanford University, signaling a broader review of medical school selection practices.
Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general leading the civil rights push, said top medical schools appear overly focused on class demographics rather than training students to succeed in the profession.
