Another day in paradise!”In a statement to the Post, Cecilia O. Arradaza, Chief Communications Officer for Stanford Medicine, said the university is “reviewing the letter.”“UC San Diego was notified yesterday that the Department of Justice is commencing an investigation, and we are reviewing the notice,” the university said in a statement to the Post. “UC San Diego is committed to fair processes in all of our programs and activities, including admissions, consistent with federal and state anti-discrimination laws.” In a statement to the Post, Cecilia O.

Nationally, about 99,400 students were enrolled in U.S. medical schools in the 2025–26 academic year, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. Roughly 42% identified as white, 28% as Asian, and about 8% as Black.California medical schools tend to enroll higher shares of Asian students and lower shares of white students than the national average, the Times reported. For example, about 13% of Stanford’s medical students are Black, compared with roughly 6% at UC San Diego. For context, in California about 15–18% of residents are Asian American or Pacific Islander and 5–6% are Black, according to the Public Policy Institute of California. 34% are white.Many of these institutions are major recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, one of the federal government’s largest sources of research support, distributing about $35 billion annually — much of it to medical schools. Stanford received roughly $575 million in NIH grants in 2025, UC San Diego about $427 million, and Ohio State about $210 million, according to the New York-based paper.This isn’t the first rodeo for the Golden State’s higher-ed institutions under Trump’s scrutiny. Federal officials have already taken legal action against the University of California system, alleging that UCLA failed to protect Jewish staff during the 2024 campus demonstrations. The administration has also sought to intervene in a separate case involving UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine, arguing the school continued to consider race in admissions despite the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling restricting the practice. That scrutiny extends beyond UCLA. Public institutions including Santa Monica College, Sacramento State, Cal Poly Humboldt, and Cal State San Bernardino — along with four University of California campuses — have faced related federal attention.Gang-rape victim, 25, whose suicide attempt left her paralyzed, will die by euthanasia after court battleKathy Hilton uses this 20%-off sculpting cream after every shower: ‘Obsessed’LI woman suing Instagram over eating disorder says 'old man' Mark Zuckerberg doesn't understand 'experiences of young girls'In a statement to the Post, Cecilia O.
