85% Informative

President Donald Trump has issued a handful of executive orders aimed at terminating all diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI , initiatives in federally funded programs.

Education and health experts warn that, ultimately, this could harm patient care.

Numbers of Black and Hispanic medical school enrollees fell by double-digit percentages in the 2024-25 school year compared with the previous year .

Another lawsuit filed in February accuses the University of California of favoring Black and Latino students over Asian American and white applicants in its undergraduate admissions.

The scrutiny of that approach to admissions could threaten diversity at the UC-Davis School of Medicine , which for years has employed a “race-neutral, holistic admissions model” that reportedly tripled enrollment of Black, Latino , and Native American students.
