AI Summary
The Trump administration's Justice Department has launched investigations into Stanford, Ohio State, and UC San Diego, demanding admissions-related data from the three medical schools.

The demand for data suggests the administration may be examining whether the schools have continued practices that contravene federal civil rights law or administration policy.
