UC Riverside didn't give up after being denied accreditation for a medical school, and officials hope that new funding will mean students can enroll next year.UC Riverside's long-held dream to have a full medical school was badly battered last year when the state refused to pay for it and then national accreditors wouldn't allow it to open. Those denials were a blow to the UC system's proud tradition of adding campuses and programs to serve a growing state.
