DOJ Alleges Discriminatory Admissions Practices at Ohio State Medical School

The U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division has accused Ohio State University's College of Medicine of discriminating against Asian and white applicants, favoring Black candidates in admissions for the classes of 2023-2025. These alleged practices, which included bypassing standard screening for some, are deemed a violation of federal civil rights law and a 2023 Supreme Court ruling. The department seeks changes through negotiations.
