Dartmouth students push back against medical school admissions probe

Dartmouth College's Geisel School of Medicine faces a federal investigation over alleged racial discrimination in admissions, prompting pushback from students who argue the probe diverts resources from STEM programs. The U.S. Department of Education launched the investigation following an executive order, while the Supreme Court's 2023 ruling barred race-based admissions considerations. Students and faculty members expressed skepticism about the investigation's purpose and impact.
