The #Trump admin has opened investigations into #admissions policies at 3 major #MedicalSchools, expanding the #federal govt’s pressure campaign beyond campus #culture & taking aim at the heart of #ScientificAuthority in the #US.
The #DOJ on Wednesday informed #Stanford, #OhioState & #UCSD, about the investigations & demanded that the schools turn over extensive lists of #data by April 24 or risk interruptions to essential federal #funding….
The government is seeking information about #MedicalSchool #applicants from each of the past 7 years, including test scores, home ZIP codes & any familial relationships to alumni or ties to university donors. The #Trump admin also demanded copies of any internal messages at the universities about #diversity, #equity & #inclusion & any correspondence between school officials & pharmaceutical companies about admissions policies.
