The DEI practices at America’s colleges and universities have been justly criticized for being anti-meritorious, unconstitutional, racist, and costly. However, a recent lawsuit against UCLA’s medical school suggests that its discriminatory admissions policies could potentially have negative public-health consequences, as well.
That’s quite an indictment against what has long been regarded as a premier medical school.
Last May, the groups Do No Harm and Students for Fair Admissions, as well as an unsuccessful white applicant, sued UCLA’s medical school, arguing that “various UCLA officials [had engaged] in intentional discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity in the admissions process.” They have now been joined by the U.S. Department of Justice, which argues that the school uses a “systemically racist” approach in admissions, favoring Hispanic and black applicants over white and Asian ones. The government’s brief declares this to be a matter of public importance and seeks relief for future applicants who shouldn’t be forced to compete in a race-based system that may prejudice them.
In short, the plaintiffs and the Justice Department insist that UCLA must base admissions on individual ability and not on membership in some favored group.
The university profile of the medical school’s associate dean for admissions, Jennifer Lucero, says that, “as a Chicana physician, she takes a special interest in diversity issues in medicine.” Like many other administrators, Lucero appears to be on a mission to impose her values on her school, the public and the law be damned.

Swirling around the toilet bowl.
dei,,,, that spells malpractice or shall we say foulpractice when the better hires are left behind.
Fake doctors, tell them a joke, IQ is always transparent.
Group grades for group work has already invaded some law schools. I wonder if this is how DEI enrollees in medical school will get through.
