Episode Description from the Publisher

Trump's Justice Department says UCSF's medical school discriminated against white and Asian applicants, and it's giving the school until October 2 to negotiate or get sued. Imani Gandy breaks down DOJ's claims, including its attack on application essays asking students how race shaped their lives, which Chief Justice John Roberts expressly left legal when the Supreme Court ended affirmative action in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. Then she explains who pays when fewer Black and Native students become doctors: pregnant people in maternity-care deserts, Black patients whose pain gets dismissed, and anyone already waiting months to see someone.
