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….#law #AcademicFreedom #education #privacy #medicine

@Nonilex Can't easily prescribe pulverized beaver penis and cupping under JrBob's private supps and accessories label to cure cancer with all those cancer docs knowin' what's what.

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.#law #AcademicFreedom #education #privacy #MafiaState #science

…The govt’s attacks on #HigherEducation during the past year have in part been aimed at tilting the #political balance of #academia, which #Trump views as hostile to his brand of “conservatism”. Some #MedicalSchools had been swept up in the campaign, but largely at #universities like #Harvard, #UPenn & #UCLA, where the full force of the govt was on display through investigations into “antisemitism” [#Palestinian Rights activism], protections for #transgender athletes & #admissions policies.#law

@Nonilex sounds like our administration isn't interested in running things, only interested in pursuing their conspiracy theories

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.#law #AcademicFreedom #education #privacy #science #medicine

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.#law #Constitution #AcademicFreedom #education #privacy #MafiaState #RevengePolitics #Trump #science #medicine

Good point about the long-term nature of recovery. A lot of grant applications underestimate the timeline for program evaluation and reporting requirements.
