Cheers!
It’s written into the bill - schools who cater to AA will be rewarded and those who don’t will be less funded.
We already have ‘affirmative action’ doctors. Most minority doctors (exception for asians) had extremely lower MCAT and undergraduate grades compared to their non-minority colleagues. These minority doctors were granted a spot in their medical school class, not earn it like their peers.
Don’t believe me?
“Mean MCAT scores for White students ranged from 8.0 to 8.5; for Blacks 4.8 to 5.6. Of this sample of medical students, 4.7 percent of the Whites and 28.5 percent of the Blacks experienced academic difficulty” 1
“In 2005 the mean combined score for black students who took the Medical College Admission Test was 21.2. (Each of the three sections of the MCAT test is scored on a scale of 1 to 15.) For whites, the mean score on the combined three portions of the MCAT test was 28.5. Therefore, the white score was about 18 percent higher than the mean score for blacks. The racial gap in MCAT scores has been virtually unchanged for the past decade. The mean total college grade point average for black applicants to medical school in 2005 was 3.18. For whites, the average GPA was 3.54. If we examine grades in the all-important science courses, the mean black GPA was 2.99. For whites, the figure is 3.44. “ 2
