WASHINGTON, June 4 (Reuters) - The ‌U.S. Justice Department said on Thursday it had opened civil rights ​investigations into 15 medical ​schools examining potential race discrimination over their alleged ⁠use of race in ​admissions.

The department said in a ​statement the probes would examine whether the schools, each of which receives millions ​of dollars in federal ​funding, are complying with a Supreme Court ‌decision ⁠that barred race-conscious admissions at colleges and universities. The statement did not specify which schools are ​under investigation.

The ​Justice ⁠Department in two recent probes into medical schools ​at Yale University and ​the ⁠University of California, Los Angeles, found their admissions practices were biased ⁠in ​favor of Black ​and Hispanic applicants.
