DOJ Expands Bias Probe to Other Medical Schools

The Justice Department finds that UC San Diego School of Medicine used race-based methods in admissions, including a shadow application process and race proxies, to preferentially admit Black and Hispanic applicants, violating Title VI and the 2023 Students for Fair Admissions ruling. The agency plans to monitor compliance, pursue settlements where violations are found, and notes this aligns with ongoing federal scrutiny of diversity policies in higher education during the current administration.
