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.

By directing a triad of investigations specifically at #MedicalSchools in a single day, the #Trump admin is widening its targets & transforming a decades-long financial partnership into a tool of #cultural leverage.
That partnership dates back to a postwar consensus in the country that #ScientificProgress is a fundamental #PublicGood — one too vital to be left to the vagaries of the market or the limitations of private philanthropy.

Since the 1950s, the #federal govt has consistently operated as the predominant source of #research #funding for #universities, acc/to the #NSF.
One of the largest govt sources of research funding has been the #NIH, which disburses about $35 billion each year. The largest recipients of those NIH #grants are #MedicalSchools, acc/to the Association of American Medical Colleges.

The RW state is driving away medical professionals. Now they are going to attack the medical education system.
Want to bet, this is a drive to get less qualified white applicants into these schools!
PS - Canada thanks trump for all our new doctors and other medical professionals fleeing the US
How THE FUCK is this OK? What is the end game, stupidification of the masses at all cost?
